New things are sometimes daunting, but we hope we have come up with a design that will allow, in time, to add new things, events, pictures, videos, restoration updates, adding your story to the scrapbook and more.

We hope you roam these pages and find the history, pictures, events, stories and things you can do to help God restore His precious treasure that was almost lost. If you would like to get involved there are lots of ways to make that possible. (get involved)

At the center of this endevor is Chist Himself, and He has called together The Old Rugged Cross Foundation, Inc. (ORCF), a multi - denominational board of volunteer directors dedicated to raising the funds required to restore The Original Old Rugged Cross Church in Pokagon, Michigan, where the final version of Rev. George Bennard's hymn "The Old Rugged Cross" was first sung publicly in 1913 during a revival.

Volunteers are our life-blood working throughout the year in the garden,the church, church grounds, and behind the scenes to accomplish the task God has set on us to finish. We are all involved in the journey of the work before us and invite you to become a part of it as well.

-----If we never meet, please leave your story about how the hymn has touched your life.

------God Bless you!
