Christ Lutheran Church is one of nearly 280 congregations in the Southwest Minnesota Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

Across the country, there are 65 synods that comprise the ELCA. As we are a vital part of the "larger church" What we believe

Lutherans believe in the Triune God. God created and loves all of creation -- the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God's Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life, and we trust that God's Spiri

t is active in the world. We are part of God’s unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God’s word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story. The convictions shared by Christians from many different traditions are expressed in statements of belief called creeds. These ecumenical creeds that Lutherans affirm and use in worship confess the faith of the church through the ages and around the world. Confession of Faith of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is part of our founding. The ELCA accepts the following creeds as true declarations of the faith of this church: Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian. Our Faith

We believe that we are justified by grace through faith. Faith is what opens us to God’s transforming influence. Simply trusting the gospel and practicing God’s presence (prayer) is the very heart of relationship with God. We nurture faith by hearing God’s word and participation in Baptism and Holy Communion. As the Apostle Paul writes: “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17)

If you missed us on Live Stream, we welcome you to the recorded worship service for the Second Sunday after Pentecost on June 14, 2026. Live Stream is available each week on YouTube at Christ Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, MN.

Moses tells the Israelites that they are called to be a priestly kingdom and a holy people. Jesus sends out the disciples as laborers into the harvest. In baptism we too are anointed for ministry, sharing God’s compassion with our needy world. From the Lord’s table we go forth to proclaim the good news, to heal the sick, and to share our bread with the hungry. (Sundays and Seasons, Augsburg Fortress, 2025)

Though Jesus was a devout Jew who practiced his faith, he was criticized for eating with tax collectors and sinners—the religiously nonobservant. Jesus criticizes the self-righteous and reminds us that mercy is to be at the heart of our religious practices. God continues to be made known in those on the margins of society, like Matthew the tax collector and the hemorrhaging woman. As we gather each Lord’s day we receive the healing that makes us well and sends us forth to be signs of God’s mercy for the world. (Sundays and Seasons, Augsburg Fortress, 2025)

If you missed us on Live Stream, we welcome you to the recorded worship service for Holy Trinity Sunday on May 31, 2026. Live Stream is available each week on YouTube at Christ Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, MN.

Though the word trinity is not found in the scriptures, today’s second reading includes the apostolic greeting that begins the liturgy: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. In the gospel Jesus sends his disciples forth to baptize in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. More than a doctrine, the Trinity expresses the heart of our faith: we have experienced the God of creation made known in Jesus Christ and with us always through the Holy Spirit. We celebrate the mystery of the Holy Trinity in word and sacrament, as we profess the creed, and as we are sent into the world to bear witness to our faith. (Sundays and Seasons, Augsburg Fortress, 2025)

If you missed us on Live Stream, we welcome you to the recorded worship service for Pentecost Sunday on May 24, 2026. Live Stream is available each week on YouTube at Christ Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, MN.

Pentecost derives its name from the Jewish festival celebrating the harvest and the giving of the law on Mount Sinai fifty days after Passover. Fifty days after Easter, we celebrate the Holy Spirit as God’s presence within and among us. In Acts the Spirit arrives in rushing wind and flame, bringing God’s presence to all people. Paul reminds us that though we each have different capacities, we are unified in the Spirit that equips us with these gifts. Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit on his disciples, empowering them to forgive sin. We celebrate that we too are given the breath of the Holy Spirit and sent out to proclaim God’s redeeming love to all the world. (Sundays and Seasons, Augsburg Fortress, 2025)

If you missed us on Live Stream, we welcome you to the recorded worship service for the Ascension of Our Lord Sunday on May 17, 2026. Live Stream is available each week on YouTube at Christ Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, MN.

In today’s readings the risen Christ ascends into heaven and his followers are assured that the Spirit will empower them to be witnesses throughout the earth. The disciples were told to not gaze up into heaven to look for Jesus (Acts 1:11); we find his presence among us as we proclaim the word and share the Easter feast. We too long for the Spirit to enliven our faith and invigorate our mission. (Sundays and Seasons, Augsburg Fortress, 2025)

If you missed us on Live Stream, we welcome you to the recorded worship service for the Sixth Sunday of Easter Sunday and Baccalaureate on May 10, 2026. Live Stream is available each week on YouTube at Christ Lutheran Church, Cottonwood, MN.

As we continue to celebrate the fifty days of Easter, today’s gospel includes Jesus’ promise that he goes to prepare a place for his followers in his Father’s house. Our baptism commissions us to share Jesus’ mission in the world. As 1 Peter reminds us, we are a holy people, called to proclaim the one who called us out of darkness into light. In words and deeds we bear witness to the risen Christ—our way, our truth, our life. (adapted from Sundays and Seasons, Augsburg Fortress, 2025)
