Reaching Up
Knowing God through passionate, Spirit-led worship and prayer.
Who we are
A church rooted in Toombs County and reaching beyond.
We’re a Spirit-led church family in Cedar Crossing, bringing people together from Lyons, Vidalia, and communities across southeast Georgia.
Our story
Faithful through generations.
Our roots reach back to the revivals of the 1940s, and Cedar Crossing Church of God was formally organized on December 1, 1956. What began with a small group of faithful believers has grown into a church family with a deep passion for worship, fellowship, and outreach.
Today, we remain committed to being a welcoming place where people can grow in faith, find community, and serve their neighbors.
Our mission
One mission. Three movements.
Reaching Around
Building intentional relationships where people can belong and grow.
