The Church Portal (Breeze) allows access to Cross’s online only directory, helps to keep contact information up-to-date, and is used to access online giving and all giving records/history at Cross. It is a helpful tool and is easy to use. Use the button above to visit the Church Portal, or look below for instructions on setting up an account. (Accounts are for members and regular attenders of Church of the Cross only.)
