Good Friday Service

TONIGHT at 6:30 PM

On Good Friday, we remember the day Jesus willingly suffered, was crucified on the cross, and died as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. Though the Friday of Jesus’ death was a dark and terrible day, we refer to it as Good Friday, because His death on that day paid our debt in full and allows us to enjoy freedom, forgiveness, and peace with God.
Join us for a special service tonight at 6:30PM as we reflect and remember the good news of the cross. Children are welcome to attend with their families.


Easter at Wake Cross Roads

Sunday at 9:30AM & 11:00AM

He is RISEN! Join us for Easter Sunday at Wake Cross Roads this Sunday. We look forward to celebrating Jesus' resurrection with you this Easter!

On this special Sunday, we will have two identical worship services at 9:30AM & 11:00AM, so you may choose which one to attend.
There will be no Bible study classes this Sunday.
Childcare is available for ages 5 and under at each service. Children are welcome to attend service with their families.


Elder Nominations

Accepting Recommendations Now

Our bylaws require that the number of lay elders exceed the number of staff pastors by one. In light of the addition of our new Worship Pastor, we will need to appoint one additional lay elder to begin serving immediately.

Additionally, at the end of the year, two of our current lay elders, Mike Lawson and Wayland Holden, will rotate off as elders upon the completion of their terms.

You may view the biblical qualifications for elders and submit an elder nomination using the link below.
