OUR GOAL
South Mississippi Cross of Christ Foundation plans to build and maintain a roadside Cross along Highway 98 or a significant highway in South Mississippi. This Cross will serve as a visible reminder of God’s love, grace, and sacrifice for generations to come. Our prayer is that it will sow a seed for salvation to those who are lost and be a peaceful space where individuals and families can pause, reflect, and pray — a place that points hearts toward hope in every season of life.
​Through prayer, community support, and faithful stewardship, we are working step by step to make this vision a reality.​
​
Design & Project Details
The cross will stand 120 feet tall and 65 feet wide and will be visible day and night.
​
The projected cost for the metal cross and its installation is approximately $250,000. In addition, we plan to incorporate a meaningful design element, a crown of thorns, estimated at $50,000.​
These costs do not include additional site development such as the covered pavilion, concrete work, parking area, landscaping, and other necessary improvements. Those elements will be addressed as part of the overall project planning.
​
There will also be ongoing expenses for maintenance and upkeep, which will be supported through donations and annual membership dues to ensure the Cross remains a beautiful and well-maintained landmark 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.
