About John Cross

John Cross has served as Senior Pastor of South Biscayne Church for the past 18 years.  During this time, the church has experienced tremendous growth and has seen thousands of lives changed.  His vision for South Biscayne has always been to do “whatever it takes” to reach people in Southwest Florida and around the world with the life-changing love of Christ.  To carry out of this vision, John has skydived, ridden his motorcycle in the worship center, climbed a rock wall, and much more to creatively and compellingly communicate Christ’s love.  He has a heart for this community and this generation.

While leading this exciting church, John earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in December 2006.  He has also had the privilege to speak and be involved with churches and church leaders around the world.  His desire is to communicate the love of Christ with as many people as possible.  In his rare moments of free time, John enjoys jogging, reading, and traveling.
