At CrossCity Christian Church we empower God’s people to change the world. In partnership with the Lord, we work tirelessly to transform lives from our neighborhoods to the nations through the power of His love. It is of the highest priority that every financial gift received by our church is stewarded well and invested wisely into kingdom advancement. As God is generous towards us, we too are generous to sow into our region and thus, are eager to share with you what we believe is our great kingdom stewardship. We want to know that every gift given will have a significant impact to reach and restore our community. Our teams of leaders have unified with faith around our vision of restoration and salvation.
Stewardship – God owns everything, we are merely his managers. Stewardship means as children of God we are called to manage what God entrusts to our care. His blessings, His way, for His glory.
Generosity – Generosity is a lifestyle in which we demonstrate God’s love. At its core, it is the graceful and willing response to share with others through personal sacrifice what God has given to us.
Giving – Giving is what a person does when they embrace the promises of stewardship and generosity. People will give to things that break their hearts, and for which they are grateful.
