Cross of Christ

Last summer, my husband and I moved to Costa Mesa from Dallas. We have ever since been attending Cross of Christ. It’s a part of the Acts 29 network (and so was our previous church in Dallas), so we knew right away that our theology aligned and that it would be a good fit for us!
Because it’s a smaller church, the sense of community is wonderful. Oftentimes at larger churches, it’s so easy to walk in and out without ever seeing someone you know. But here, we have been surrounded by great friends! We love our community group that meets weekly, and our pastor places such emphasis on the gospel!
If you’re on the hunt for a church that loves Jesus and loves His people, come check it out!

My wife and I came to this church about a year ago and we were doing the traditional «church shopping» or whatever you call it. Cross of Christ Church had everything that we wanted in a church and more. I didn’t know community and having a sense of belonging until I came to this church. Our pastor and our people truly care about one another and our community groups reflect that. My wife and I also attended a marital seminar soon after we were married and got so much out of it. If you’re looking for a Gospel-​driven church with an emphasis on community, look no further.

My wife and I have been attending this church for the past year or so. It’s a wonderful place for people coming from either a traditional or a contemporary church background. There is also a focus of life outside of the church as the people engage one with one another in community groups each week. We have made so many lasting friendships and feel welcomed, known, and at home here. Most importantly, this church preaches the Gospel above everything else. We highly recommend Cross of Christ for anyone looking for a new church home.

Such an amazing church! The people truly care for one another and the pastors sermons are relevant and applicable. Looking forward to continuing to get connected!

I’m so thankful for this church and what Jesus is doing through it. Jesus is what this church is all about. Pastor Nick is an incredibly gifted preacher who has a great heart to see Orange County be changed by the Gospel and for Cross of Christ to be a mission church that cares for the city we live in. The worship is really awesome too!
Breaking out of isolation and living life with other believers is so vital to growth and I’m so thankful that Cross of Christ is a church that emphasizes that community is a key component to gospel transformation.
No matter where you are in life, no matter what you believe or don’t believe about the Christian faith, I highly encourage you to come see what Jesus is doing at Cross of Christ!

Cross of Christ is a church that is on mission for Jesus. Throughout every service I have heard the Gospel preached in a way that shows grace, brings conviction, and points to Jesus’ work on the cross. The worship music is a mix of modernized hymns and praise songs that really impress upon people the greatness of their Savior. This church also has a clear, substantive understanding of community — everyone in the church faithfully serves in some way and welcomes all into the church body. It truly is a family of believers with a selfless desire to grow and see others develop a relationship with Christ. They offer community groups, mens/women’s bootcamps, pre-​marriage, and many other ways to be serving/​involved. Pastor Nick humbly leads the church well. Above all, he loves Jesus and out of that comes a love for His people.
I truly believe that Cross of Christ takes worship seriously through maintaining theological precision while faithfully addressing today’s culture. I highly recommend coming to Cross of Christ!

Cross of Christ is a welcoming church community that is centered around the good news of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Whether you’re a non-​Christian or you grew up in the church, Cross of Christ is a great place to learn what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. Every week the Bible is preached, the gospel is proclaimed, and the church together responds in community. I personally know several members and leaders of this church and would vouch for their integrity and honest desire to see more people come to know Jesus. Five stars.

Small church with robust doctrine.
The people here are friendly, welcoming and passionate about seeing God work through the Bible to change hearts and minds to love Him and others well. They really emphasize living life together and seeing how the person and work of Jesus changes our everyday life. They do not do this primarily through programs, but through weekly bible studies and monthly hang outs.
It’s an honest and joyful place and a great new church plant for anyone to join.
