Welcome to Mission of the Cross Lutheran Church in Crosslake, MN

A Confessional, Liturgical congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS)

We are a confessional congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). In worship, we observe the historic liturgy of the Church. It is traditional and reverent making ample use of the Holy Scriptures “which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15). Our members include babies, young children, their parents, single adults, married couples, retirees, widows, and widowers. The blood Christ unites all of us in faith, hope, and love. If you are looking for a church home or just visiting the area, we invite you to join us. We look forward to warmly welcoming you in the name of the Lord.

I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” -Psalm 122:1
