Our Story

Cross Culture Church emerged from a desire to see a movement of Christ-centered, Spirit-filled, Bible-believing, and Mission-minded disciples who make disciples.


Since launching on Father's Day in 2005, God has guided and provided for us at every step of our journey! He has done many wonderful things, profoundly impacted numerous lives, and prepared us for the most significant and exciting part of our story yet!


We are now positioned to multiply more disciples who make disciples, reach more children and families through the expansion of Imago Dei Care, bless and enrich our local community through strengthened collaborative partnerships, and extend the Gospel of Jesus Christ into more unreached areas of the world by working with indigenous global mission movements!


Our story is gaining momentum all the time, and the only thing that can make it even better is if you join us!


    Our Mission

    Our Beliefs


    • The Bible is God’s Word

      The 66 books of the Bible are the only collection of God-inspired Scripture and serve as the exclusive foundation for Christian teaching and guidance in life.


      2 Timothy 3:16

    • There is One God in Three Persons

      There is only one God and Creator of all things — eternal, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent, and immutable — Who exists in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.


      Matthew 28:19


    • God created people in His image

      Mankind was created male and female in the 'imago Dei,' or image of God, possessing attributes such as intelligence, consciousness, creativity, free will, speech, and spiritual awareness—qualities superior to those of animals—and was commissioned by God to rule over the earth and multiply through children and families.


      Genesis 1:27, 28

    • Marriage joins one man and one woman for one lifetime

      Marriage is a lifelong expression of committed love between a man and a woman. It is the first institution given by God, and its respective roles, husband and wife, can only be defined by Him.


      Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:3–8, Ephesians 5:22–33, Colossians 3:18–19

    • People sinned replacing God with self

      Instead of trusting and obeying God’s Word, the first people chose to sin by following their hearts. Their sin separated them from God and made it impossible for anyone to reconnect with God.


      Genesis 3:2–6, 22–24, Isaiah 59:2

    • Sin is now part of human nature

      Every person is born with a sinful nature that is inherently bad and obeys self rather than God.


      Romans 3:10–12, 23

    • Creation has been corrupted by sin

      As mankind’s God-given domain, the creation was corrupted by our sin and is now subjected to death and decay. The evil we see in the world is a direct result of man’s sin, not God’s intention.


      Genesis 3:17–19, Romans 8:20–23


    • Jesus came to redeem us from our sin

      Redemption from mankind’s sin could only come from a sinless man, but since everyone has sinned, God had to enter His creation as a man and become our sinless Redeemer.


      Colossians 1:13–23


    • Jesus died and rose again to save us from sin

      Jesus publicly suffered and died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, was buried, and rose victorious over sin and death on the third day, being seen alive by hundreds of witnesses over a period of about six weeks.


      1 Corinthians 15:3–8

    • Salvation is a free gift received by faith

      We are saved from sin and death by grace alone, not by any good work or religious effort, through faith alone, trusting in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ as the only means of salvation.


      John 3:16, Ephesians 2:8,9


    • Jesus ascended to Heaven and is coming back again

      After showing Himself to His disciples, Jesus ascended to Heaven in their sight and will visibly return in bodily form at an undisclosed future date to establish His kingdom on earth


      Acts 1:11, Matthew 24:29–31, Daniel 7:13-14
