COME SEE US!

THE CROSS CHURCH is a group of regular people who want to honor our Lord Jesus Christ and encourage each other to grow in our walk with Him.

We’ve put together some information here that anticipates and tries to briefly answer some of the questions you may have prior to visiting our church for the first time:

OUR COVID PROTOCOL FOR YOUR SAFETY

Your safety is a priority to us, so we have a few things that we have put into place. We have a cleaning service every week that does a thorough cleaning, mopping, and wiping down of the property. We have also purchased a specific sprayer that sprays a non-toxic mist of Pureox over all of our usage areas. Purerox is a proven, proprietary technology that is being used in US hospitals and doctor's offices. Many disinfectants on the market are toxic and require the surface to be wet for up to 10 minutes to kill viruses. Purerox™ disinfectant is 100% safe and can easily be applied by anyone, and is on the EPA List N for use against Covid-19 and other pathogens. You will not find a safer, quicker, or more cost effective system for disinfecting your building. This spray kills any virus, including the COVID virus, within 60 seconds.

We also have plenty of hand sanitizing stations around our property for your use. 

Facemasks AND SPACE IN THE SANCTUARY

We are currently not enforcing the use of facemasks. As you may know, our Governor of Florida recently removed the mask mandate from businesses. We have seen a wide range of medical opinions on the use of facemasks, so we are trusting each individual to make decisions that they believe are best for them.

The sanctuary is large and provides us with plenty of space for any social distancing necessary. We have placed distance between rows, and will place an empty space between families when necessary.  You are welcome to sit close to your friends. We want you to enjoy your time at church, so please feel the freedom to move your chair, or move around to where you feel most comfortable.

SMILEY STICKERS!

We will also have green, yellow and red smiley stickers available for you to help others be aware of your comfort level for greetings and seating. The green stickers are for those that are more comfortable and would not mind handshakes and hugs. The yellow stickers are for those that prefer fist pumps and elbow bumps. The red smiley stickers would be for those who want to be more cautious, find themselves in a high-risk category, and prefer the non-contact greeting. We want to do our best to honor everyone in whatever place you may be. There is no right or wrong sticker!

WHAT YOU CAN DO

As you know, no matter how much cleaning or spraying one does, you take a risk of catching any virus, cold, flu, and the COVID virus when you enter into any public place like Publix, Walmart, malls, restaurants, or church. COVID is a contagious virus so we encourage you to first pray and ask God for His protection over you and your family. We also encourage you to wash your hands, use hand sanitizer when needed and try to build up your immune system with a daily dose of vitamin C, Garlic, Zinc, Vitamin D3, NAC, and Quercitin. This protocol may help your body combat any possible cold, flu, or virus. Please take every precaution that you feel is wise for your family. Read up on all of the news and information about what products are out there that can help you combat the COVID virus. We want everyone to stay healthy and safe. Of course, if you don’t feel comfortable being in crowds or you or your family have any symptoms from COVID or like that of a cold or flu, we invite you to watch the service online.

WHAT ARE YOUR SERVICES LIKE?

 Our time is  made up of music, prayer and bible teaching, and typically last about 75 minutes. We begin our service at 10:00am. If you came with any needs you’ve wanted to pray about, just fill out and turn in a prayer card to one of our CrossTeam leaders before the service so we can pray for those requests during our prayer time.

After our prayer time, you will hear a teaching that is built on God's word, not the pastor's ideas, using real and relevant applications to your life.  Pastor Greg will usually go through a book of the bible verse by verse with the

goal to know God better and to transform our lives to be more like Jesus. 

DO YOU PROVIDE CHILDCARE?

We have an amazing kids church that is tailored for your child to feel welcomed and to learn about  to hear the story of God, and to worship Him. While you are learning, our CrossKidz team will be teaching your kids at their level in our CrossKidz church (CrossKidz-nursery to 5th grade). Clean, well-staffed nurseries for infants and toddlers are provided during all church services.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

We are more concerned about you and your presence with us than we are with what you wear.

Just Come as you are and wear what makes you feel comfortable!

WHERE SHOULD I PARK?

We have parking lot on the church property. We have some designated spots, near the front door, just for our first time guests.

WHERE SHOULD I GO WHEN I ENTER THE BUILDING?

We have greeters located at the doors who would be happy to help you find where you need to go.

ARE YOU FAMILY FRIENDLY?

Yes! No matter your family dynamics, you're welcome at THE CROSS CHURCH and we're excited for you to consider being a part of our church family! Our intent is to serve the whole family. During our worship service we have care available for infants and children. Your children will receive real spiritual training from a group of caring leaders during this time. 

WHAT IS THE ATMOSPHERE  LIKE?

Many of our church have commented on the authentic love that they felt when they were a first time guest at the Cross. It's important to us that you feel welcome when visiting. Our hope is that our atmosphere will help you feel relaxed and comfortable. The music and worship are built around Biblical themes that are timeless.
