A Note from Pastor Vondie | June 2025

June is a special month for me each year. For thirty-five years, I've watched God's handiwork unfold in Beckley. My grandmother used to quilt. I have watched her painstakingly piece together cloth to create a beautiful and functional quilt. The past 35 years can be described like this, too. As we have grown together, we have observed God piecing together Cross Point. God has used your faith, love, joy, and struggle to create what we see here. What God has and is making at Cross Point is truly beautiful.
 
Also in these thirty-five years, you have stood with me through seasons of abundance and scarcity, never wavering in your support of the ministry. You have loved not only me, but my family through these years. You have prayed for my shortcomings, celebrated our victories, and walked alongside all of us through valleys I could not have walked through alone. Your faithfulness is like the two big oak trees in our yard. You have stood the test of time.
 
Your steadfast hearts have been the living embodiment of Christ's love, and your encouragement has been like the men who held up Moses’ arms when he could not hold them up for the battle. As we mark this milestone together, let us never forget the God who has brought us this far and for His guidance going forward. What He has begun in us is not complete until every person in our part of West Virginia and beyond knows our Savior in a personal way. What God has begun, He is faithful to complete it.
 
Thank you for allowing me the profound privilege of serving as your pastor for these thirty-five blessed years.
 
Love,
Pastor Vondie and Lori
