Graceful Partnerships

“We believe in the power of generosity and the power of loving people through generosity,” says Outreach Pastor Michael Cason.

Freestyling Fun

The riders and onlookers, who represent all different ages, aren’t very different from the people who attend Freedom Hill Church.

Rideshare Redemption

Over the past two years alone, about 25 customers have accepted Christ, Hickman reports.

Part of the Team

The students appreciate the notes church volunteers leave for them, which address specific prayer requests, contain Scripture or offer encouraging words. The athletes are most grateful, however, when Oak View volunteers show up to their games.

Chemistry and the Cross

The event proved so popular that Cross Point ended up holding two more of these science-based events. The church also used its established partnerships with local schools to hold science days at two campuses at which students seized the opportunity to build and fly rockets, construct a bridge, conduct experiments, perform a bounce test and other fun and educational activities.

A Space to Create Art

Faith- and non-faith-based community groups can use these performance spaces for concerts and recitals.
