Crossover Ceremony

Since 1998, at each South Texas Powwow, we have conducted the “Crossover Ceremony” for Adventure and Expedition Rangers allowing them at an appropriate time to “crossover” into godly manhood. Each young man takes a definite step with a host of witnesses who will be there to pray for and encourage him as he takes a public step of faith. Each participant will also be given a special coin that will forever be a symbol of the crossing over that took place. He will also have the opportunity to partake with the staff in Holy Communion reminding him of what Jesus has already accomplished in his life. The ceremony will be held Saturday night after the evening service and altar call. The ceremony is open to Adventure Rangers, Expedition Rangers, leaders and personal mentors that are able to attend.
