Can’t wait to […]

And They’re Off!

One of the things that I love about our church is our commitment to missions… local, regional and foreign.  We do a host of things throughout the year that are missions related but today a team of 26 people from Cross Point are on their way to Santiago in the Dominican Republic to continue construction […]
