Church of the Holy Cross has always had a missionary heart. Over the years, both through our prayers and our financial support, we have partnered with a number of persons engaged in ministries beyond our own walls - from helping the homeless in Wake County, to supporting a Christian counselor in Cary, to building a church in the middle of Africa. We currently maintain relationships with the following missionaries, both in the United States and around the world.
