Why this exists
James, founder of Anvil & Cross

I didn't think I was worthy
to be baptized.

Then I started serving at a food pantry, helping people come back to God and get baptized. That is when it hit me: baptism isn't the end of the road. It's the start of the journey.

I built Anvil & Cross because at every stage of life, one area is struggling more than the others. Fix that leak first, and the rest starts to hold.

I spent most of my life on a mission to be unforgettable — to build, to win, to leave a mark the world couldn't ignore.

That drive came out of dark places. As a boy at a Christian boarding school, I was abused by the very people who claimed to represent God. I walked away. For thirty years I rejected Him and told myself I'd be my own boss.

Then one ordinary day in Scottsdale, I turned right — without deciding to — and pulled into Oasis Community Church. Pastors Billy and Andy met me in the wreckage. I was saved again.

That walk is what built Anvil & Cross. Repair, restore, revitalize — for anyone done playing church and ready to build His kingdom instead of their own empire.
