Ministries

Holy Cross believes that much of the growth in one’s Christian life is experienced through personal and small group Bible Study. These Bible Studies provide the foundations of our everyday living and provide an opportunity for members of the body to strengthen and encourage one another. We invite you to become a part of these ministries, as God has intended for each of us to grow in His ways.  To find a group for you, please use the menu on the right hand side of the page to get more information on the ministry your interested in.  If you have any questions please click here to contact us for more information or call 305-893-0371.  

Youth

Kids 4 Christ: Ages 4 - 11
We meet every Sunday morning at 9:15am ready to delve into God's word with gladness and with joy in our hearts. We seek to glorify God through studying his word, praising him, keeping fellowship with one another, serving our community, outreach and missions. Activities include studying bible verses/stories, singing praise, visiting the nursing home, hosting Vacation Bible School and giving to the Samaritan Purse mission. Each year we recruit volunteers to serve during Summer Sunday School. We also hold seasonal "in house" celebrations (Water Fun Day, Fall Harvest Celebrations, Christmas Pageants, Easter Egg Hunts, etc.).

X-Men Men's Ministry

The Righteous man walks in his integrity; blessed are his children after him. Proverbs 20:7 

Biblically, men have been called to serve as the spiritual leaders in the church and household. Unfortunately given the recent trends in society and in the family structure, there has been a noticeable disengagement of men both inside and outside of the church. The X-Men ministry serves to reinvigorate and reengage the men of the community to return to their roles of leadership just as God ordained. Through regular Bible Studies, prayer, social events, and mentoring, the X-Men Ministry is committed to developing the next generation equipping them with the Biblical foundation and wisdom necessary to be the spiritual leaders of tomorrow. 

This is a new and exciting men's ministry at Holy Cross for adult men of all ages. For more information, please click here to contact us.

Women's Ministry

The women of Holy Cross come together every Thursday night to enjoy some fellowship time and to focus on a Bible Study titled: “Knowing God’s Heart.”  This is a fun time for women to relate to daily walks and to learn from one another what it is to be a woman of faith.  We invite all women to be a part of this wonderful Bible Study; Thursday nights @ 6:30 pm.  Babysitting is available.

Young at Heart

It's been said that "Life begins at Retirement" and this is especially true for the members of Young at Heart community at Holy Cross. This ministry is intended to harness the talent, vigor, wisdom, and life experience that retired members possess for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God. Members of Young at Heart meet regularly for fellowship and service opportunities, meant to engage those in the Holy Cross family who are retired.

For more information contact Gabriela Dean at (305) 893-0371.
