CLICK TO WATCH A TWO MINUTE  RECAP OF OUR LAST CONFERENCE

PURPOSE

We call this generation to
make their lives count by making Jesus' name known.

MESSAGE

We emphasize
the gospel, the local church, and God's heart for the nations.

AUDIENCE

We are built for
18-25 year olds and their leaders.

THE FINE PRINT
But we understand that there are mature high schoolers and those in their late-twenties who can benefit so we do not maintain a strict age limit.

GET TO KNOW US

1.

We are both serious and joyful.

We aim to match the tone of the conference to the weightiness of the topic at hand. As one of our founders, John Piper, said to a previous gathering at CROSS, “We don’t urge you to come to CROSS to make your life easy. We urge you to come to make your life count.”

2.

We care about lasting change.

We don’t want to manipulate emotions that quickly flame out in unfulfilled expectations, but rather we aim to instruct the conscience for lifelong faithfulness.

3.

We want to ground people in God's Word.

We want those who attend to grow deep theological roots so we instruct through main talks, panels, testimonies, and topical breakouts.

4.

We sing loudly together.

Grasping God’s rich mercy and grace from the Scriptures, we respond with heartfelt praise. Matt Boswell and his band lead us in singing with one voice both new and old theologically rich songs.

5.

We point people to local churches.

An event can be a great tool for discipleship, but it’s not the God-ordained, normal means for Christian growth. It’s for this reason that we encourage all those who attend to dive more deeply into their church after the conference.

6.

We believe everyone has a role in the Great Commission.

Fulfilling the command of Jesus to make disciples of all nations will not be accomplished by a select group of “super Christians.” Every follower has been charged to take part — either as a sacrificial sender or a dedicated goer.

7.

We believe group leaders are instrumental.

We love that 90% of our past attendees have come with a group leader. Why? Because we believe the best way to experience CROSS is within a community that can encourage continued perseverance and discipleship beyond the last talk.

8.

We partner only with faithful organizations.

We have an exhibit hall filled with missions agencies, seminaries, and resourcing organizations that are eager to serve.
