King's Cross Church and Solway Church are merging! We believe this decision is aligned with our shared vision to spread the love of Christ and serve our community even better. We are also excited to share that the new merged church will retain the name "King's Cross Church".

We announced the merger to the King's Cross Church congregation during an All Church Meeting on June 25th.

The Solway Church congregation graciously agreed to close their church in June and are enthusiastically joining the King's Cross Church family. They have agreed to close this chapter of their church and begin a new chapter with King’s Cross Church.

The Solway Church building will be the new home for King's Cross Church.

The last Sunday of July, specifically Sunday, July 30, will mark the final service at the Soledad Club for King's Cross Church. It will be a bittersweet farewell to our old location, but we look forward to making new memories at our new home at the Solway Church building starting from August.

From August onwards, we will begin to gather for Sunday service at the Solway Church building. The last Sunday of August, we will hold a joint Baptism Service at the bay as a celebration of our unity in faith.

The official launch of the merged King's Cross Church is set for Sunday, September 3. This day represents the culmination of our merger journey, celebrated with a service that formally introduces the united King's Cross Church to the community. We envision this day to echo Revelation 7:9, with a diverse multitude from King's Cross and Solway churches coming together to worship the Lord in unity. It will indeed be a significant day in our shared history, and we're looking forward to celebrating it with you.

Starting in July, the KXC music team will lead worship at Solway Church and oversee the preaching schedule.

The Elders of the new church will be those from King's Cross Church.

Our goal is to integrate and merge the ministry teams from both King's Cross Church and Solway Church. We believe that by uniting our teams, we can combine our strengths, talents, and resources to better serve our congregation and community. In the spirit of Ephesians 4:16, we look forward to each part working together, making our body grow so that it builds itself up in love. More information about the merging of specific ministries will be communicated in the coming weeks.

Following the merger, King's Cross Church will assume responsibility for the operations of the merged church building. This includes overseeing church services, events, maintenance, and facility improvements. We are blessed to share that King's Cross has been provided with the necessary financial resources to manage these new responsibilities. This will ensure the smooth operation of our shared facilities, allowing us to focus our efforts on serving our community and spreading the Gospel.

Yes, there will be. We have formed a dedicated team, consisting of members from both King's Cross Church and Solway Church. This team will oversee upgrades to both the interior and exterior of the building, as well as improvements to the landscaping and parking lot. It's important to note that these improvements will be done in phases. This approach allows us to be thoughtful and efficient in making the building even more welcoming for our church family and visitors. We're very excited about this and look forward to sharing updates as the work progresses.

We want to assure you that there are no outstanding financial issues that will affect the merger. We have thoroughly reviewed the financial aspects of the merger and are pleased to share that there is no debt from Solway Church that we are taking on. Additionally, the building itself is essentially free, and Solway Church has agreed to fund major projects such as the roof and parking lot with their remaining funds. We have consulted with various individuals and groups to ensure that all financial matters have been carefully reviewed and addressed.

Yes, indeed! We will have a joint Baptism Service at the bay on the last Sunday of August. It will be a time of celebration and reflection as we approach the official launch of our newly merged church. We're also excited to announce a Picnic Lunch to encourage fellowship and bonding among the congregations of both churches. This is scheduled for Sunday, July 23rd at 12:30pm, and it will take place at Kate Sessions Park. We hope you can join us as we create new memories together.

The first hire we will be making is a facilities manager. This role is essential in ensuring the smooth operations and maintenance of our church facilities.

We welcome all questions and offers of help! Feel free to reach out to any of the church leaders, join our weekly meetings or participate in the planned events. We appreciate your prayers and support during this transition.
