Mission/Vision

KING’S CROSS CHURCH exists to glorify God and enlarge His Kingdom by gathering regularly to proclaim and celebrate the Gospel of Jesus Christ, yielding to the authority of God’s Word as illuminated by the Holy Spirit and summarized in the historic Christian Creeds and Reformed Confessions, partaking together of Christ’s presence in the Sacraments, providing opportunities to love and serve one another in Community, equipping the saints for Ministry to those who are lost and hurting, both locally and globally, and preparing them to cultivate Shalom (peace and well-being) wherever God calls them to serve.

A Heart for the Lost

"In Psalm 85, God has brought back the captivity of Jacob. Confession of sin in the Bible is often expressed in the first person plural. Forgive us, Lord. Restore us, we pray. When we confess our sins, the first thing we do is confess on behalf of our sinful nation—and we don’t pray, “Forgive them, Lord.” We ask for a spirit of repentance to be granted, as a gift of grace, to our people at large, to our people as a whole. God can do this, and there are many times in history when He has done it. If we have a heart for the lost—as opposed to being reconciled with the way things are—we will consistently be asking Him to do it again." (Douglas Wilson)
