The "Majestic Cross" is a 100-foot-tall cross located on the campus of Hunter's Chapel Holy Church of Christ in Walker County and visible from I-22.

He presented the plan to the church's board of deacons who approved it and began raising funds for the estimated $232,000 cost. A prayer garden and walkway are planned at the cross's base.
