Frequently Asked Questions
Does Mount Cross have a confirmation program?
At Mount Cross we do have a confirmation program. We call it A, B, Not C, which stands for “Affirmation of Baptism, not confirmation”. It is a program spanning 7th, 8th, and 9th grades during which students are given an opportunity to explore who God is in their lives and are prepared to affirm the promises that were made to them in the waters of baptism.
Does Mount Cross serve their local community?
At Mount Cross we are committed to transforming the world locally and globally. Through our partnerships with local groups such as Families Unlimited and The Family Housing Network and globally through groups like Lutheran World relief, we seek to enable all people to not only survive, but to begin to thrive.
What does "Lutheran" mean?
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is a gift of God” Ephesians 2:8 This is the heart of what it means to be Lutheran. We believe that God's grace, which is God's undeserved and unmerited love, is a gift that God freely gives to all through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through God's gift of grace, we are set free from trying to save ourselves, so that we can be set free to generously love and serve our neighbors. Centered around the word and sacraments of baptism and holy communion, we are filled by God's Holy Spirit, to live out this faith filled life.
Does Mount Cross have a VBS program this summer?
We did not host a VBS program in 2022. However, if you'd like to get involved with planning or executing a VBS program during 2023 at Mount Cross, please contact the church office at office@mountcrosslutheran.org.
