The Cross
Rock Springs Church Raises 120 Ft. Cross On Campus
(Milner, GA) -- Rock Springs Church (RSC) held a dedication service for their 120-foot cross on May 16th at 3 PM at 219 Rock Springs Rd., Milner, GA. The cross, which was installed in 2020, includes a prayer garden, a heated baptismal pool, and engraved bricks in honor and memory of individuals and families.
“We are excited and humbled to dedicate this cross back to the Lord,” said RSC Senior Pastor Benny Tate. “This cross represents the true mission of our church: to reach people for Christ, and we are excited to welcome our community to enjoy the cross for years to come!”
The dedication service included a brief devotion from Pastor Benny Tate, worship, and multiple baptisms. The community can visit and enjoy the cross anytime. Churches are also invited to use this space for baptism services.
Pastor Benny Tate shares, “I am so excited to see this vision become a reality! We could not be more proud to be able to bring this landmark to Middle Georgia to serve as a reminder for all God has done for us. We pray that our church, along with this cross serve as a beacon of encouragement and hope to our community as we continue to welcome all to come be a part of our church family.”
The structure was designed by James Potter, who has planted over 30 crosses across the United States. Construction was performed by Mike Rozier Construction (Hattiesburg, MS) and McLeRoy Construction (Zebulon, GA).
Future plans for the cross include a heated baptismal pool and a prayer garden. The cross will feature a plaque displaying Dr. Billy Graham’s quote, “Once you have been to the cross, you will never be the same,” as well as the stones from Jerusalem that comprise the Western Wall.
