Life: What's In A Name?

“What’s in a name?” Shakespeare once asked. “That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” But when it comes to our identity—especially as a church—names matter. In this series, we’re exploring the deeper meaning behind the name CrossLife Community Church. Each word carries weight. Cross points us to the center of our faith: Christ crucified and risen. Life reminds us of the resurrection power and new beginnings we’ve been given. Community calls us to walk in unity, love, and shared purpose. And Church isn’t a building—it’s a people set apart for God’s mission.
