The Strip Church

The Strip Church

For the last 7 years, a ministry called xxxchurch has been leading a successful effort to reach people no one else was reaching – those in the porn industry. For years they have been making headlines with their controversial outreach venues and style as they maintain a presence at all the major adult trade shows, in many cases developing relationships with porn stars and producers.

However in spring of 2008, God planted the seed of what would be the next big step in their ministry. Rather than simply ministering from a distance, Craig Gross and the rest of the xxxchurch team decided to actually move to Vegas and launch a radical new style of ministry known as the Strip Church.

Take a minute and read this very creative cartoon-style overview of the mission behind Strip Church.






Lisa and I believe in the ministry of xxxchurch and stand behind them as they reach those you or I will probably never have the opportunity to reach. We donated to the launch of the The Strip Church and hope you will to. Please consider giving generously.

    I love what they are doing. I love that they have contacted 2 Brothels and have talked to them about doing church there… IN THE BROTHELS! Genius. Instead of inviting, waiting, and hoping that they will come to them, they take church (and Christ) to them.

    sounds like a great ministry.

    the cartoon is a classic.

    I think we need more ministries with this kind of outside-the-box soul-winning strategies.
