DOING LIFE. TOGETHER.

At Cross Point, sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the world is one of our top priorities. Cross Point supports missionaries across the world, as well as in the States, with financial assistance, prayer, and encouragement. With God's provision, we support mission points in Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, India, Kenya, Mexico, New York, the South Pacific, Tanzania, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe. We support members who go on short-term mission trips as well because we believe that sharing the Gospel is not only the church's mission, but also can be an individual's mission, too. Cross Point has an annual Family Mission Trip to Antigua and Barbuda, where the Gospel is shared through Vacation Bible School and a soccer camp. This Family Mission Trip is a good way for families to do mission work together. Our CAMPUS and youth ministries also organize periodic mission trip to various parts of the country and the world.

Cross Point Youth Group meets in our Student Center in a place we call the LOFT. It's a place to hang out, have fun, and fellowship with other teens from the North Alabama area. Our teens lead each other in small groups on Wednesday evenings and Bible Study on Monday nights. (Colossians 2:7). Our teens serve on our annual Family Mission Trip to Antigua, and in local service projects in partnership with UNA and Florence High School (John 15:12). In our Youth Group, you will find a place, your place.You'll get to know God, other teens, and have the opportunity to serve others in the community.
If you are looking for ways to serve with our Youth Ministry, we need adult small group leaders on Sunday mornings. You can also get involved with our local mission opportunities. Contact our Youth Minister, Joe, if you want to help.
