OUR GOAL
The South Mississippi Cross of Christ Foundation is dedicated to maintaining and enhancing the 120-foot roadside Cross located along Highway 98 in South Mississippi. Standing as a visible reminder of God's love, grace, and sacrifice, the Cross serves as a beacon of hope for generations to come.
​
Our prayer is that every person who sees it will be reminded of Christ's love and that it will plant a seed of faith in the hearts of those who are searching for Him. We also hope it provides a peaceful place where individuals and families can pause, reflect, and pray.
​
While the Cross now stands tall, our mission is far from complete. Through continued prayer, community support, and faithful stewardship, we are working to complete the surrounding project with features such as lighting, parking, paved access, landscaping, and other site improvements while ensuring the Cross is preserved and maintained for generations to come.
Travelers
Highway 98 is traveled daily by thousands of people — families, workers, truck drivers, visitors, and those simply passing through. Visible both day and night, it will stand tall against the South Mississippi skyline, offering a constant reminder of God’s presence.
​
As the first cross of its kind in South Mississippi (south of Jackson), it will also serve as a meaningful landmark — a symbol of faith that welcomes travelers and leaves a lasting impression on all who pass by. Whether someone is on a daily commute or a long journey, the Cross will stand as a sign of hope, strength, and unwavering love.
