On September 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 lives were taken, families were forever changed and countless acts of courage and sacrifice emerged from unimaginable tragedy and loss.

Twenty-five years later, we continue to honor those who died, those who rushed to help, and all who have carried the weight of that day ever since.

The Cross at the Crossroads was erected in 2001 and has stood for 25 years as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, God is near. The Cross points us toward a hope that fear cannot overcome, a love stronger than hatred and a peace found only in Jesus Christ.

As we remember 9/11, we pray for the families who still grieve, for the first responders and members of our military who serve and sacrifice, and for healing and unity throughout our nation.

Please join us Saturday, Sept. 19, from 6–9 p.m. as we commemorate 25 years since 9/11 and celebrate 25 years of faith, hope and impact at The Cross at the Crossroads. A special prayer service will begin at 6:30 p.m., followed by music and an 8 p.m. drone show featuring Christian and patriotic images, including a tribute to September 11.

Together, we will remember. Together, we will pray. And together, we will look to the Cross with hope.

“God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” — Psalm 46:1
