Speaking Request
Pastor Merritt often receives requests to speak or preach at events across the country and around the world. While he would love to accept every invitation, his first and foremost duty is to his ministry at Cross Pointe. With that, Pastor Merritt is seldom away from the pulpit on Sundays. In addition, he only accepts speaking engagements where there are direct flights to and from major cities with little travel to the actual event (90 minutes or less) or a direct drive time from Atlanta of two hours.
