There’s a new church in Rockville.
Why another Church?
This question was answered at the Cross Community Church kick-off service held on October 4, 2015.
Here are a few quotes from the message to help answer this question:
“To answer that, we need to dive into a very important truth about the nature and identity of the church, something that gets near to the heart of this particular church – Cross Community Church.”
“No church can be all things to all people. That’s why we need lots of different kinds of churches- different languages, styles, locations. That’s why we need new churches, more new churches. This is in part why we are committed to being a church planting church. We believe church planting is the best way to connect the most people to the good news of Jesus the Messiah.”

“The thing is, I am an unlikely church planter and the group that God has assembled to plant this church would all consider themselves unlikely participants in such a venture. None of us have ever done anything like this before; none of us had a clue we would be doing this a year ago. But here we are – a new church off the ground! And what a start. According to our resident statistician and historian, Henry, we had 180 attendees for our first public service. While it’s not about numbers, the energy and enthusiasm of this first service was palpable and exciting.”
What’s is next for Cross Community Church?
The church has a sermon series starting on October 11 title “unbelievable” which will cover topics such as:
Does God Exist?
Christianity is so intolerant
How could a good God allow suffering?
How can a loving God send people to Hell?
God and Gay marriages
