Honoring the image of God in every person
The Life Task Force exists to proclaim the Gospel by advocating for the dignity and worth of underserved children and families in our community. We equip and mobilize the Church to be the hands and feet of Christ by serving preborn children, foster children, adoptees, trafficking survivors, people experiencing incarceration, and their families.
WHAT’S HAPPENING

GET INVOLVED
FOSTER & ADOPTION ADVOCATES
As adopted children of God, our gospel identity compels us to help vulnerable children and their families encounter Jesus. We are committed to developing a vibrant support system for adoptees and fostering or adoptive families in our community through our monthly connection events and wrap-around care teams.
TRAFFICKING SURVIVOR ADVOCATES
All people are image-bearers, created equal in the sight of the Lord, yet many remain trapped in modern-day slavery. At Church at the Cross, our ministry teams care for and advocate for survivors of trafficking, offering tangible support and the love of Jesus.
PRISON ADVOCATES
Prison Advocates is a ministry dedicated to helping people experiencing incarceration encounter Jesus. Through weekly Bible studies and volunteer chaplaincy, our teams bring the life-changing message of the Gospel behind bars.
NEW LIFE
ADVOCATES
From the earliest stage of development, all humans are made in the image of God. Our goal is to show compassion to pregnant mothers and their families through partnership with Human Coalition and a clinic in Grapevine. Because God’s mercy is bigger than abortion, we desire for all people to have a safe place at Church at the Cross to heal from past abortions in the context of community.
