KMOC/Wichita Falls, TX GM Keith Sanderson checks in with HisAir. The KMOC/Wichita Falls, TX Cross was gifted to the station by an anonymous donor, a testament to the generosity and dedication of the community to spreading the message of Christ. The Cross stands as a powerful symbol of faith and hope, visible from miles away as it towers over the landscape. Located just off I-44, the 77 foot cross serves as more than just a landmark; it is an invitation to all who pass by to pause, reflect, and experience the story of Jesus.
Keith tells HisAir, “The project is designed to provide a space for contemplation, prayer, and connection, allowing individuals and families to immerse themselves in the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Visitors to the KMOC Cross will find more than just a towering structure; they will step into an interactive journey through the story of Jesus. The KMOC Cross features various sections that walk guests through Christ’s birth, ministry, crucifixion, and triumphant resurrection.
The dedication ceremony for the KMOC Cross will be held on Sunday, April 6th, at 4:00 PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in a brief dedication service, followed by a time of prayer, reflection, and exploration of the walk-through experience.
