Organizational Statement of Faith: 

CROSS was established according to the following Bible Verse -
"For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in; 25:36 I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me. 25:37 then will the upright make answer to him, saying, Lord, when did we see you in need of food, and give it to you? Or in need of drink, and give it to you? 25:38 and when did we see you wandering, and take you in? Or without clothing, and give it to you? 25:39 and when did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you? 25:40 And the King will make answer and say to them, truly I say to you, because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me."
Matthew 25:35-40
