...Our Story...

SOUTHCROSS COMMUNITY CHURCH is the product of the merger (or federation) of two congregations.  While we have retained the denominational affiliations of those original churches, our primary identity is as a community church.  The graphics, words, and links below should give you an idea of where we've come from...

Feeling that a joining of their churches might be mutually beneficial, the two churches entered into merger negotiations.  They began to meet jointly for worship in June of 2000 at Valley's location.  After prayerful consideration and much hard work, the congregations voted to join together.  In September of 2001, they held their first services under their new name as a unified church.  SouthCross continues to retain the important ministries that were the hallmarks of its former "parts" and has also grown into new and important areas of ministry as it lives into its new identity and place in the broader community.
