| When Living the Cross was organized in 2007 a mission statement was conceived. It included elements of worship, service, ministry, evangelism, and other thoughts of such mission statements. Over the year our "many" worded mission statement has evolved into a single word - SERVE, for that is who we are, we serve. Our service is to God first, and then to others. We remember that the chief end of man is to glorify God so by this we serve. |
The McCormack family has dedicated their lives to serving others through Jesus Christ. Their perspective on working outside the church to strengthen and grow the church is to say the least . . . unique. It is based on three fundamental principle: Know Jesus (Philippians 3:10), Go to the people (Luke 14:23), and Serve the people (Matthew 20:28; John 13:4, 5).
In 2007, God presented the McCormack family with a task; one could say a quest. The task was to step down from Westland Heights Baptist Church, where Richard served as pastor, and go outside the church and bring people to Jesus.
Today, the family is working to fulfill the vision God has given them. Through seminars, conferences, retreats, books that encourage, podcasts, and recently “The Cross for a Minute.” This family continues to offer the love of God to the world through servant hood.
Richard also serves as pastor of a small church in Dunsmuir, California. |
