The Cross Is Central
An empty cross made of walnut is the focal point of our new sanctuary. This powerful symbol reminds all that we worship a risen Christ as Savior and Lord. This cross was designed and constructed by Van Cockerham and Jason Wilcox who were enlisted by Claude Edwards. Claude made the cross in our former sanctuary years ago and he very much wanted to make the new one using pieces of the same walnut wood. Due to limitations in his health, he decided to provide the lumber for Van and Jason to build the cross. So, together these craftsmen have fashioned something new, a beautiful cross, made from something old linking our past and our future.
