This Week at WCR

Deacon Nominations

Accepting recommendations now

According to our church by-laws, the elders receive recommendations for potential deacons and then bring to the church any names to be considered to fill that role. The current group of deacons will also be part of the process in cooperation with the elders. Your prayerful participation is an important part of this process. Click below to read through the requirements to serve and to make a nomination. All deacons must be members of Wake Cross Roads for a minimum of two years prior to assuming their responsibilities.

WCR Women: Connect Kick-Off!

Sunday @ 6pm

Join us as we launch a new ministry year at WCR Women Connect! We’ll unveil our 2026-2027 ministry theme and cast vision for how we’ll glorify God by making disciples who worship Him, connect with one another, and reach our community.

At this special gathering you’ll:

Meet and mingle with women across generations as we pursue Titus 2 mentoring relationships and grow together in Christ.
Learn simple ways to get plugged in—whether that’s joining a small group, attending an event, connecting with a Shepherd Sister in our mentoring program, or serving on our volunteer teams.
Hear quick spotlights from our fall small group leaders so you can find a study that fits your season.

Come expectant, bring a friend, and take your next step with WCR Women this fall!

New this year - Childcare is available by registration only.

Men's Small Groups

WCR Students Wiffle Ball Night

Friday @ 7pm

Step up to the plate! ⚾
Students and guests are invited to join us in the ROC for a night of indoor Wiffle Ball. Big swings, questionable pitches, and plenty of fun will be had by all. We’ll bring the snacks and the competition - you just bring yourself and a friend! No gloves are necessary but pit viper sunglasses are optional. Don’t strike out on this one!

Day of Service: Harris Creek Elementary

Saturday @ 9am-12pm

Harris Creek Elementary has asked for our help in beautifying their campus!

We are in need of many volunteers to help spread mulch and do basic landscaping. We will also have volunteers from the school (staff, parents, students, etc) working alongside us, so this is a great opportunity to get to know our neighbors!

If you have machinery and tools to help with this task it would be much appreciated! Please let us know during registration, or reach out to Johnny Cooper with any questions.

Parenting Milestones: 9th Graders

Sep 27, 9:45am

Parenting is a sacred calling, and each stage of a child’s life brings new joys—and new challenges. Parenting Milestones is a new series of gatherings designed to encourage and equip parents as they guide their children through key transitions in their spiritual walk with the Lord.

Each session will focus on a specific age or stage. We'll explore practical strategies, offer biblical encouragement, and provide space for conversation, connection, and prayer with other parents in the same season.

This session is tailored to parents who have current 9th graders. Students will attend WCR Students during this parent info session.

Let’s walk this parenting road together—one milestone at a time.
