About this church
The Cross Community Church gathers for worship at 10:30 a.m. Sunday and prayer at 6:15 p.m. Wednesday at 1505 East Boyton Street in Marion. Its story began when Parish Park Baptist Church and Cross Cultures Community Church, then independent congregations, started worshiping together in January 2013. They formally became one church that May with a mission of loving, sharing with, and serving people across Southern Illinois.
Connect Groups form the center of the church’s discipleship approach. Faith Journey gives adults a conversational setting for discussing the sermon, studying Scripture, sharing food, and turning belief into practical life; the church describes the current model as one larger Sunday-evening group that can multiply as interest grows. KIDZ Connection uses prayer, interactive media, Bible teaching, and hands-on activities, with options during Sunday worship and at 6:15 Wednesday. Ignite serves students in grades seven through twelve through Bible study, Christian concerts, service, recreation, and relationships. Preschool-age children also have a dedicated learning space through Crawlers at the Cross. A first-time household can attend Sunday worship together and ask which age-based connections are operating that week. Adults interested in Faith Journey should confirm its location and childcare availability, since both may depend on the current host, while Wednesday prayer aligns with the published children’s time.
