Located in Milwaukee's central city, this diverse, affirming, vibrant ELCA Lutheran congregation offers a wide range of neighborhood ministry programs that seek to lift up every mind, body, and spirit. Community-conscious, socially active, and driven by the Spirit, the members and friends of Cross Lutheran Church welcome all persons, regardless of ethnic heritage, religious background, socioeconom
ic status, gender identity, ability, age, or sexual orientation. We’ve been humbly doing the work for a long time and this beautiful diversity is a core part of what makes us who we are. We strive to put our faith in action, in ways that impact mind, body, and spirit. We believe in reaching out to the community and the people who live in it, with special emphasis on those who have been pushed aside by society at large. We have among us many who have battled life's toughest trials, including economic hardship, addiction, loss, and much more, only to come out the other side stronger in their life and in their faith. Cross operates many programs and services that assist those in our community. Over the years, many of our initiatives have grown, flourished, and become self-sustaining non-profit organizations in their own right, and continue to help the greater Milwaukee area today. Our worship services and devotional videos are offered online at the moment. You’re always welcome to participate in anything we host online (and in person once we are able to gather safely again). Know that you are truly welcome here just as you are. Consider yourself officially invited to participate in bringing about God’s peacable equitable kin-dom here in Milwaukee. Welcome to the community of Cross Lutheran!
