And he said to the people of Israel, “When your children ask their fathers in times to come, ‘What do these stones mean?’ then you shall let your children know, ‘Israel passed over this Jordan on dry ground.’ For the Lord your God dried up the waters of the Jordan for you until you passed over, as the Lord your God did to the Red Sea, which he dried up for us until we passed over, so that all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.”
— Joshua 4:21–24
Fifteen years ago, Cross Creek Church launched with 12 households and a calling to glorify God by inviting all into His grace. Earlier this month, we paused to celebrate a major milestone in that journey: the completion of our “Twelve” Campaign—a three-year initiative of faith and generosity through which God provided over $693,000 to secure and renovate our church home.
“Twelve” Celebration Video
This campaign began during our 12th year as a church and was named Twelve – Called by Him, Called for Him, reflecting both our beginning and the biblical paradigm of God working through 12 tribes and 12 apostles. What started as a shared space with Lake Crest Presbyterian Church grew into an opportunity: to purchase, repair, and renew a space that now serves as our central hub for worship, community, and mission.
Before & After
Through this campaign, we were able to accomplish:
- Flooring upgrade in almost all of the building
- Repainting all children’s rooms with dynamic themes, and all other areas of the building
- Replaced existing play area with a professionally installed playground,
- Roof repairs
- Resealing and repainting the lines on the entire parking lot
- Security and lighting upgrades
- Expanding our stage and backdrop
- Most recently, our sound system speakers and paneling, and new projectors
Other improvements we considered and might hope to pursue include restroom updates, foyer expansion, additional parking, and a potential outdoor pavilion for gathering and outreach.
