Hear from Others
“CROSS Con is a Bible-saturated, God-centered, Christ-exalting conference. It exists to proclaim the one true Gospel, uphold the Church, and summon thousands to the task of proclaiming salvation through Christ alone to all unreached people. Our aim is to call 18–25 year olds to the work that has the greatest eternal significance that the world will ever know and may take little notice of.”
John Piper
Speaker, Desiring God
“We took our first trip to CROSS in 2024. Since then, we haven’t looked back. Each year, CROSS plants gospel seeds for 18–25 year olds to make their life count—both in the local church and overseas. The question I kept asking myself on our way home: ‘How many more can we bring to CROSS next year?’”
Trent Jones
Group Leader, Linworth Baptist Church
“CROSS Con has been a massive discipleship tool in our church for ten years. The preaching has opened our young adults’ eyes to God’s plan for the nations—and by His grace, we now have people from prior years serving as missionaries overseas and in leadership at our church.”
Justin Cook
Group Leader, Parkside Bible Church
WHY BRING YOUR PEOPLE?
CROSS exists to serve your work: helping young adults see Christ clearly, love their local church, and consider their part in making Christ known.
We proclaim. We don’t assume.
We want every person to hear the gospel clearly and repeatedly: God saves sinners by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone. We explain it plainly and press it home with conviction.
We serve it—and send people back to it.
CROSS exists to serve the local church, not compete with it. We want every attendee to return home more committed to the people, pastors, and ordinary discipleship God has placed around them.
We work to see Christ treasured everywhere.
Missions is the overflow of a life shaped by the gospel and rooted in the church. Some will go, others will send, but every Christian has a role in seeing Christ treasured among the nations.
