Helpful Resources from Mission of the Cross Lutheran Church
In every season of life, Christians benefit from faithful resources that keep them anchored in the Word of God. At Mission of the Cross Lutheran Church in Crosslake, Minnesota, we want to do more than provide Sunday worship times. We also want to help individuals and families in Crosslake, Cross Lake, and the surrounding Brainerd Lakes area find trustworthy Lutheran resources for prayer, study, learning, and growth in the faith. Mission of the Cross is a confessional congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, and that identity shapes the kinds of resources we are glad to recommend. Our congregation’s public ministry is centered on Holy Scripture, the historic liturgy, and the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ, and the resources we point people toward are meant to strengthen that same life of faith in the home and in daily vocation.
Why Helpful Christian Resources Matter
Helpful Christian resources matter because the Christian life is not lived only for one hour on Sunday morning. The Lord calls His people to hear His Word, pray, repent, believe, and serve their neighbors throughout the week. Good resources can assist with daily Bible reading, family devotions, hymnody, prayer, and deeper study of Lutheran doctrine. For many Christians, one of the challenges is not a lack of interest, but uncertainty about where to begin. That is why a faithful church can serve the community not only by preaching and administering the Sacraments, but also by directing people to solid materials that are rooted in Scripture and consistent with the Church’s confession.
Resources Grounded in the Lutheran Confession
Mission of the Cross serves the Crosslake area as a Confessional Lutheran congregation, and that means we value resources that are clear, trustworthy, and centered on Christ. Lutheran and LCMS materials can be especially helpful because they are designed to keep the focus on God’s Word and the saving work of Jesus Christ. Whether the need is for devotional helps, prayer resources, catechetical teaching, or materials for understanding the Lutheran faith, the goal is the same: that Christians would be strengthened by God’s Word and better prepared to live in His mercy.
Encouragement for Home and Daily Life
Faithful resources are not only useful for pastors or theologians. They are also a blessing for households, families, and individual Christians. They can help parents teach their children, encourage regular prayer in the home, and provide sound guidance during times of joy, sorrow, confusion, or spiritual struggle. In a busy world, simple and faithful tools can help Christians remain rooted in the promises of Christ and in the life of His Church. This is one reason Mission of the Cross provides helpful links: to support a deeper, steadier life of faith beyond Sunday morning.
A Resource for Crosslake and the Brainerd Lakes Area

We hope these helpful links and recommended resources serve members, visitors, travelers, and families throughout Crosslake, Cross Lake, and the Brainerd Lakes area. Our prayer is that they would encourage deeper study, stronger prayer, and greater confidence in Christ and His promises.
