CrossExamined.org is a ministry started in 2006 that conducts dynamic I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist seminars on college campuses, churches, and high schools. Led by Frank Turek and other Christian apologists, Cross Examined exists to address the problem that 3-out-of-4 Christian youth leave the church while in college, many because they are intellectually skeptical. In addition to I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be An Atheist, CrossExamined.org presenters address other topics young people face today. The ministry also has a television show on the NRB network (DirecTV channel 378) and an app.

Operation Christmas Child - Global
This is a ministry of Franklin Graham’s Samaritan’s Purse that packages shoeboxes filled with items for children. These boxes are delivered worldwide at Christmastime to show Christ’s love. We begin collecting items in October and our Children’s Ministry sorts and packs the boxes. Our youth and children ministries sort and pack the boxes together. Our mission team pays for the shipping. We deliver the boxes to the nearest distribution center where they are sent worldwide. Plymouth routinely packs and ships more than 100 boxes.
