Cross & Grace Ministries exists to encourage churches to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ with biblical truth, Christlike compassion, and unwavering confidence that His grace is available to all who believe.
Our ministry was born from a simple conviction:
The thief on the cross proves that no one is beyond God's grace.
Jesus did not ask the thief to clean up his life. He simply called him to believe. That same invitation remains today.
Our Mission
Our mission is to encourage churches to become places where every person has the opportunity to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
We believe that every one of us comes to Christ as sinners in need of God's grace. We stand firmly on the authority of Scripture and the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our desire is not to change the message of the Bible, but to help churches proclaim it with both conviction and compassion.
Our heart is especially for those who believe there is no place for them in church. We want every person to know they are welcome to hear the Gospel, because the invitation of salvation through Jesus Christ is extended to all who believe.
The Gospel is not about ranking sins.
The Gospel is about the Savior.
Every Christian has come to Christ as a sinner saved by grace.
That means our calling is not to decide who deserves to hear the Gospel—it is to faithfully proclaim it.
We believe churches should be places where people encounter both the truth of God's Word and the hope found in Jesus Christ.
While the Gospel is for everyone, Cross & Grace Ministries has a special burden for people who have concluded that the church has no place for them—including many within the LGBTQ+ community.
We recognize that many have experienced rejection, misunderstanding, or condemnation from those who identify as Christians. Our desire is to help people encounter the hope of the Gospel and discover that no one is beyond God's grace.
We are equally passionate about equipping churches to faithfully proclaim biblical truth while extending Christlike grace and compassion to those who have often felt marginalized. We believe churches can remain unwavering in their commitment to Scripture while becoming places where every person is welcomed to hear the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
When people conclude there is no place for them in the church, they will often seek acceptance, belonging, and community somewhere else. Rather than allowing that to happen without hearing the Gospel, we believe the church should lovingly engage them with the truth of Scripture and the amazing grace of Jesus Christ. Our prayer is that every church becomes a place where people are invited to hear the Gospel, encounter biblical truth, and experience the grace that points them to the Savior.
What We Believe
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible, and authoritative Word of God and our final authority for faith and practice.
We believe there is one God, eternally existing as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, born of a virgin, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, rose bodily from the grave, and will return again.
We believe salvation is by grace alone through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone—not by works.
Every person is a sinner in need of God's grace.
Whoever believes on the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved.
We believe every human being is created in the image of God and possesses immeasurable worth and dignity.
Because all have sinned, every person needs the forgiveness found only through Jesus Christ.
We believe the local church exists to worship God, proclaim the Gospel, make disciples, and lovingly care for one another.
We believe biblical truth and Christlike compassion are never in conflict.
Jesus never compromised truth.
Neither did He withhold grace.
We seek to follow His example.
We promise to proclaim the Gospel faithfully, love people genuinely, and point every person to Jesus Christ.
Because No One Is Beyond Grace.
