Cross of Christ Lutheran Church
As a fellowship of believers, it is our mission to joyfully proclaim the gospel of Christ in word and deed, inviting people to worship together, nurturing them in the Christian faith, loving one another, and serving a world in need. We invite you to visit us.
John 3:16: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Cross of Christ Lutheran Church has been a cornerstone of our community dating back to 1855 when the Houston Lutheran Church was organized. Over a century and a half later, life has significantly changed but the spiritual life that our ancestors proclaimed still exists and continues to flourish. We believe, as they did, that a strong faith is essential to a fulfilling life and we strive daily to follow our convictions.
We are blessed with beautiful houses of worship and a spiritually gifted congregation.
Cross of Christ has a school-year and a summer schedule with traditional and contemporary services. We also have an active W/ELCA, senior choir and prayer group. Yearly we host a meatball supper and an Easter breakfast.
We are located in a picturesque rural setting with the opportunity to enjoy nature and the environment while being 30 minutes from La Crosse, WI and less than one hour from Rochester, MN.
