I am reminded that the same God who created all things is the same God who sits on top of the mountain while also walking with us through the valley. Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me.

Occasionally, we get a chance to see how we move between both – just like Good Friday and Easter Sunday. In August, I lost my father to Covid, but with social distancing it also presented a gift that we could have never foreseen. In this season of isolation, my older children taught their younger siblings how to play chess. Our eleven and six year old boys picked it up very quickly.

This week with special consent from the South Carolina Independent School Association our kindergarten son, Fielding, received permission to play in the Elementary School Chess Tournament. He stunned everybody by going undefeated and taking first place with his proud older brother taking fourth. It was a sight to see and a reminder that what may now look like a curse on the front end could very well down the road lead to blessings. Good Friday is the greatest example. What they thought was a curse led to the greatest act of redemption in world history. I’ll see you Sunday!

Continue to glorify God and enjoy Him for forever!

Get Involved with Our Ministries

Membership begins with an informal meeting with clergy. The next step in getting connected would be joining a Bible Study or small group to be in community with other Believers.

The Church of the Cross Locations

The Church of the Cross is situated across 3 distinct campuses. View our locations below:

Pray

Want us to pray for someone in need? Submit a prayer request (with their permission) and your prayer will be communicated with our clergy, Church staff, and Intercessory Prayer Team volunteers.

The person will remain on the prayer list for four weeks or until the office is notified otherwise.

Give

Everything we own and everything we have comes from God. So, when we give, we simply offer him a small portion of the abundance he has already given to us.

Giving is an expression of our thankfulness and praise to God, and there are various ways to give at The Church of the Cross.
