Welcome to Cross Lutheran Church
We extend to you a warm welcome into our community. We have found this a loving, nurturing, and welcoming place where you can develop real relationships, whether single, raising a family, or single again, retired, or beginning a new chapter in life.
The community at Cross Lutheran are a mission-minded community seeking to connect people to Jesus and to one another. We strive to make our worship an experience one where you can come as you are, be touched by God's love, and depart knowing God has blessed you and those around you with love and joy. Our desire is to invite you to journey with us as we seek to live more purposeful lives at home and work. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you soon.
Worship Times
are 8:15 AM (traditional) and 10:45 AM (prayer & praise) every Sunday during the Fall, Winter, and Spring. Nursery care is always available. All services include the sacrament of Holy Communion.
Christian Education
for all ages is at 9:30 AM. During 10:45 AM worship children ages 4 years through 5th grade may attend our All-in-One Sunday School in the Fellowship Hall following the scripture readings. Enthusiastic and caring adults will greet them with active challenges, storytelling and play to make experiences that apply biblical truths with fun learning. Those students prepared for communion may come back for the sacrament and then return to class.

If you did not receive a letter and would like to participate, contact the church office so we have your information. Please let us know, also, if you will be renewing your vows on June 3rd! We then will know how many to plan for during the worship.
