Butch Francis

Hello, I'm Butch Francis, Pastor of the Church of the Cross. I began my preaching ministry in 2010 at my father's church, Tribbey House of Worship. In 2011 I began pastoring my first church in the back of my brother-n-law's house. In 2015 we planted the Church of the Cross and I have been the pastor since. I married my wife, Katie Francis, in 2000, we have seven children and eighteen grandchildren. I also teach the Adult Sunday School class. I love preaching and teaching God's word, as well as providing guidance to the flock I have been entrusted with. I just want everyone to know " God loves you and so do I!"
