What Does Jesus Ask of Us?
…whatever you do for one of the least of these siblings of mine, you do for me.
Matthew 25:40
Diversity and social justice are cornerstones of life at Cross. With members from all over the city and beyond, we intentionally reach out to those in different walks of life. Over the years, many of our ministries have grown into some of Milwaukee’s best-known non-profits, allowing us to nurture new ministries. We feel it is important to serve those among us in need, wherever they are in their journey.

Bread of Healing Empowerment Ministry
Healing mind, body and spirit — it all comes together in our Bread of Healing Empowerment Ministry (BOHEM). From a weekly interactive bible study to a hot meal, from wellness and AODA sessions to opportunities to experience community, Cross’ BOHEM serves hundreds of individuals every week.
Food Justice Ministry
We believe food is one of the core rights of all individuals. Unfortunately, food insecurity is all too common. That’s why our community garden, free meal and food pantry are core programs at Cross.
Celebrating Diversity
Do you hate the fact that Sunday mornings at 10AM are among the most segregated times in America? So do we! No matter your race, socio-economic statues, family structure or sexual orientation, you’re welcome. No, it’s more than that: We invite you to fully participate in every aspect of life at Cross.
A Reconciling in Christ congregation for over 25 years.
