Cross Movement Ministries is a Christian organization that is creative in its approach to ministry.  We target the Hip Hop Culture with the Gospel of Jesus Christ through several mediums and tools (e.g., literature, discipleship, outreach concerts, etc).  What is Hip Hop Culture?  Click here for a narration about Hip Hop Culture!

Urban Ministry:  Cross Movement Ministry's primary ministry is to those in urban areas, using evangelism in a form that pin points those in the Hip Hop Culture in America, a group of people that the church struggles with reaching.  Also, our ministry regularly partners with the local church in an effort to assist and educate the local church in reaching this unique, unreached culture.

Unreached Peoples It is commonly assumed that if you grew up in America, then  you've heard the Gospel.  But in Hip-Hop Culture, commonly represented by rap music, there are dozens of philosophies and ideologies that have either replaced Christianity or confused the bible with new age, humanistic-thought and relativism so that a clear presentation or understanding of the Gospel is a rare thing in the urban setting.

Our Vision Statement
To see all who are
apart of and/or being affected by
Hip Hop Culture presented with
the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


And because Hip Hop Culture and music has not just grown to beyond the city to the suburb, but also beyond the country to other major cities around the world such as London, Kingston Jamaica, and Tokyo Japan, the religion and concepts of God found in Hip Hop music are more common in these places than the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

We've been to some of these places on missions trips and have seen for ourselves the need for Christ centered away with the current of the Hip Hop Movement.  They are found in every age range, every ethnic group, and many cultures and sub-cultures.  We've even taken a trip to an Indian reservation in Wyoming where rap music and gang violence is prevalent amongst the teen-agers and young adults.
 

The music, language, art, fashion, and personalities of Hip Hop Culture have become key components in a multi-billion dollar industry, with worldwide impact on the social, political, and religious scene. Despite its rich cultural contribution Hip Hop has become a modern-day Pied Piper: leading its adherents into a mindless pursuit of every indulgence secular man can conjure up. This is why The Cross Movement places heavy emphasis on countering secular Hip Hop's philosophies with Biblical ones, and works to create platforms that stress salvation, emphasize Christian growth, and encourage Christian Service.

Christian Disciple & Training Through helping the church put on quality, relevant outreaches we hope to see churches that are equipped with a proper understanding of how to reach out to the genera commonly referred to as "X."  Also, we have been and will continue to train others to sub-ordinate their talent, desire and cultural style to the person of Jesus Christ.  And to use all of these to reach back into their culture for the purpose of evangelism.

Our Mission Statement

  • Our mission is to evangelize, and assist in the discipleship of those who are directly involved in, or any way influenced by hip-hop culture.

  • We plan to be, and produce servant-leaders, who, while maintaining their hip-hop distinctives, learn to subordinate them to their identity in Christ.

  • Through utilizing various forms of communication, such as music, literature and multimedia formats, we will produce a variety of resource materials geared to stress the truths of God’s Word and its power to transform society.
