Cross City Church

What Cross City Church does

Cross City Church is a non-profit Southern Baptist congregation headquartered in Euless, Texas, operating within the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. Founded in 1904 (under the predecessor name First Euless) and led by Senior Pastor John Meador since 2006, the church operates two campuses across five distinct worship venues: Traditional, Contemporary, Español, and International services at the Euless main campus, plus the Alliance Campus in Haslet, TX. The organization serves a multi-generational, multi-ethnic congregation through a portfolio of ministry programs including Kids Ministry, Student Ministry, Connection Groups (small-group Bible study), Equip Classes (Bible Studies, Financial Peace, Divorce Care, Grief Share), and a Counseling Center. On-campus facilities include Kidscape (a three-story indoor play area), a Cuppa-branded coffee shop, a church library, and Lionheart Children's Academy (an early-childhood education partner).

The church's technology stack is conventional for a mid-sized house of worship: a WordPress-based website, live streaming at live.crosscity.church, on-demand sermon archives, social media channels (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X), text-to-give (817-646-2922), online giving portal, and a podcast ("Walk in the Truth" hosted by Pastor John Meador). There is no mobile app, no disclosed API, and no proprietary software. Digital tools are used for distribution and donor convenience rather than as differentiated technology assets.

Revenue mechanics are entirely member-driven: the primary income stream is tithes and offerings collected via text-to-give, online portal, in-person collection, and mail. The 2025 operating budget was $7.2 million, against which $7,309,699 was received (approximately 1.5% favorable to plan). Year-to-date giving as of June 28, 2026 stood at $3,324,707 against a plan of $3,480,060 (approximately 4.5% unfavorable). Designated giving flows to local mission partners (Mid Cities Women's Clinic, 6 Stones, KiDs Beach Club) and a global Kenya mission partnership targeted at $500,000. Capital campaigns fund infrastructure, most notably the Alliance Campus Project. The church has no venture capital, no institutional investors, and no parent organization.
