Holy Cross - established in 1940 - is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). We are located in south Minneapolis, nestled along Minnehaha Parkway, and are part of the Minneapolis Area Synod, ELCA.
All Are Welcome
We strive to welcome all people into the full life and ministry of this congregation, and we invite you to come as you are. Questions are always welcome.
If you are just beginning a journey of faith, we would love to accompany you as you learn more about the Christian message and the difference God makes in your life. If you are interested in volunteering in the church or community, we can help you find a way to make good use of your time and talents.
Everyone has a place at Holy Cross — regardless of age, background, gender, family situation, immigration status, or anything else. We look forward to getting to know you!
Proudly Serving Our Community
We are proud to financially support several ministries outside of Holy Cross, including our synod ministries, ELCA Worship Hunger, Lutheran Disaster Response, Community Emergency Service, New Creation Baptist Church Food Shelf, and others.
We also host several community groups: Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) groups meet on Fridays and Saturdays, International Cesarean Awareness Network (ICAN) meets the second Monday of the month, and we are pleased to share our building with Bethel Apostolic Church, a Spanish-speaking congregation.
We are members of West of the Rail Business Association (WRBA) and Field Regina Northrup Neighborhood Group (FRNNG) in an effort to become a more integral part of our community.
