2023 Anniversary Celebration Review
What did we celebrate?
Back on Saturday, September 16th Kings Cross Church celebrated the 71st year of 2nd Baptist Church existence, the 10th year of Kings Cross existence and the 1st year of the merger between the two Churches.
The Birth of Emmanuel Church
The name “church planting” is a misnomer; nobody plants a church. It’s not as if you go to the nearest garden center, pick out a small yet somewhat mature plant, then take it home and put it in the ground. No, getting a church to the point of flourishing—even existing—takes far more work.
5 Core Identities
Worshippers

Who We Are
We exist to seek first Christ and His kingdom,
for the glory of God,
and the joy of all nations and generations.
King’s Cross Church is a spiritual family united by the good news that “God saves sinners.” This good news of the gospel is about God. Saving is what God does. Sinners are who He saves.
Our mission is to multiply gospel-centered disciples and churches to be worshipers who delight in Christ, witnesses who declare His cross, and servants and family who display His love.
If you join us on Sundays expect to find welcoming people, singing, praying, and Bible teaching that shows how seeing Jesus in the whole Bible can transform your whole life.
