Welcome to Holy Cross!

Helping People Know, Live and Share the Love of Christ!

Holy Cross is a member of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, founded in 1962 here in Rochester, MN. We teach the Bible in truth and purity and believe in the inerrancy, infallability and inspiration of scripture. In the beginnning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God...so the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus came to earth and dwelt among us so that by believing in Him you may have eternal life.

We believe that God has a path and destiny designed for each one of us and it is our desire to help you fulfill your God-given purpose that He has prepared for you. Jesus came that you may have life and have it more abundantly. It is our aim to equip you in your everyday life for the ministry for which God has called you.

Jesus said I am the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through me. At Holy Cross, we teach that Jesus is the only way to the Father and no one comes to the Father except through Him.
