It’s not an official vision or mission statement but it’s become a sort of picture of the kind of community we would like to see God create among us.

Well having a “boys’ night” certainly means something different these days than it used to. However, they’re still a lot of fun!! You won’t want to miss what Gage does at 1:58 into the video. Totally wrong! [vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/1555404] Do you think I’m a bad parent?

I often get asked about our leadership structure at Cross Point. This is an important part of Cross Point because we attempt to structure the church in a way that maximizes ministry and minimizes bureaucracy, and yet, still provides accountability on all levels.
