I’m New

New to Cross of Life?

We welcome you as you seek a faith community for your spiritual journey with God.

What to expect

Lutheran worship follows a “liturgy” or order of worship, and the worship service is either printed in the bulletin or on the screen. We sing, pray, hear the Scriptures read, hear an encouraging and educational sermon, share in Holy Communion, and enjoy the gift of Christian community. Our worship services are about an hour in length. Traditional worship services feature organ music and are a little more formal. Music for the contemporary worship service is provided by the Cross of Life band and this service is casual.

You may wonder what to wear. People wear business, business casual, casual – wear what you are comfortable in. We are far more interested in connecting with you than in what you wear!

At Cross of Life, we believe that lifelong learning is important, so we offer Christian education classes for adults, youth, and children of all ages. We make learning about God fun for kids each week and your children’s safety is a priority for us.

Holy Communion

Holy Communion, offered at all worship services, is open to all baptized Christians, regardless of your denominational background. Children and unbaptized adults who have not received instruction in Holy Communion are welcome to come forward to receive a blessing.

Nursery

A professionally staffed nursery is provided for children up to age 4 from 8:45 am 12:30 pm each Sunday. We also have a “cry room” to the left as you enter the main doors of the church. However, we greatly value having children as part of our worshiping community, so please feel free to keep them with you in worship!

Programs for children and youth

We offer Sunday school for children from K – 12th grade, confirmation instruction for 7th and 8th graders, Middle and High School youth group (which provides numerous opportunities for faith formation, fellowship, and service). INCLUDE LINK TO THE CONNECT TAB.

Accessibility

We have plenty of parking in front of the church and accessible parking is available near the sanctuary doors. There is portico for rainy days as well as a hospitality lane for people to be dropped off closer to the sanctuary.  An ADA accessible bathroom is available.
