The Life Team at Chapel of the Cross exists to equip our church as gospel-driven champions of life.

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10

And it is my prayer that your love may abound more and more, with knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve what is excellent, and so be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God. Phillipians 1:9-11
But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. Jeremiah 29:7

The Value of Life Presentation with Kristi Hofferber: In September, 2021, the Chapel Life Team sponsored a presentation by Kristi Hofferber, who shared an interesting and powerful story about the value and purpose of ALL lives. She spoke about how the gift of adoption saved her life and brought tremendous joy to her adoptive family. After learning about her own traumatic conception, Kristi was compelled to help others and left a ten-year career to go back to school to obtain her master’s degree in social work. She is currently the outreach coordinator for Coalition for Life St. Louis and also travels to share her life-affirming story of an unthinkable beginning to a life with purpose. She is an adoptee and wife of an adoptee, and together they have two adopted children. They are a family stitched together by God’s design and for His purpose. You can watch the presentation below or on Chapel's YouTube channel.
