North Cross United Methodist Church Of Madisonville
Our Mission
To lead people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Method
At North Cross Church, we strive to accomplish our mission by encouraging every person to apply the following biblical practices of the Christian faith. We ask that you try to...
Worship every Sunday unless you are sick or out of town
Study the Christian faith, and intentionally tend to your own spiritual life between Sundays, by attending a small group, studying the Bible, or reading a daily devotional
Serve in at least one volunteer ministry position
Give in proportion to your income as you work toward becoming a tithing Christian
Invite others when the opportunity arises
When you are doing your best to apply these practices, we believe firmly that two things will happen: First, you will grow personally in your faith, and second, the church itself becomes stronger in its mission and ministry.
Our History
In January of 1998, the Louisiana Conference of The United Methodist Church purchased 8.75 acres of land on Highway 21 in Madisonville. At its January 6th meeting, the St. Tammany Parish Planning and Zoning Commission approved the usage of the site for the building of a church. Eighteen months later, in June of 1999, Rev. Flint E. Shea was appointed by Bishop Dan Solomon to be the organizing pastor of a new congregation.
New churches typically begin by renting temporary facilities before building a permanent place of worship. In December of 1999, North Cross held its first service of worship at the Vickers Northshore Funeral Home north of I-12, in Covington, and moved five times in as many years! In such a short time, over 350 people have become part of this growing church.
