Mission of the Cross Lutheran Church
Sharing the Love of Christ
A congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
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 of 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

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our since and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Missouri Synod (LCMS) Crosslake Church
As a Missouri Synod church in Crow Wing County we serve the Brainerd Lakes Area and align with the mission of the LCMS: In grateful response to God’s grace and empowered by the Holy Spirit through Word and Sacraments, the mission of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is vigorously to make known the love of Christ by word and deed within our churches, communities and the world.
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a denomination that confesses the historic, orthodox Christian faith, a faith built on “the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone” (Eph. 2:20). The LCMS, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., is mission-oriented and Bible-based. LCMS doctrine reflects the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther, as summarized in The Book of Concord: The Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
