Holy
Cross Lutheran Church (The Lutheran Church--Missouri
Synod) is located in the city of Warren and was established
in 1960 and is now a congregation of over 700 baptized
children of God who are:
We
are by no means perfect people. We believe that by
our very nature we are sinful human beings who live
contrary to the Word and will of God. We sin by what
we think, what we say, and what we do. But we also
believe that God has done something about our condition
of sin through his son, Jesus Christ. Jesus came into
our world to give his life as a sacrifice on the cross
to make payment for our sin, reconcile us to the God
who has created us, and bless us with an everlasting
relationship with himself. As a bumper sticker years
ago used to say, "Christians aren't perfect,
just forgiven."
Living under that forgiveness,
and with God's help, we are aiming our lives toward
Christ. We are walking the journey of faith that we
might better know and understand our loving Father
and become more like him. Sharing a common faith in
a common Savior, we walk the journey of faith together
as a congregation so that we might be encouraged by
our fellow brothers and sisters in Christ and, in
return, be an encouragement to them. When we stumble,
and we surely do everyday, we are there to help one
another back up on their feet.
We find ourselves firmly proclaiming
Christ crucified. We do not trust in our own good
deeds or life for God to save us. We believe that
only by Christ's death on the cross is our sin paid
for and the free gift of eternal life given to us.
Rejoicing in our relationship with God, we are about
the task of reclaiming lost lives for Christ. We want
the whole world to share in the joy and gladness of
knowing God personally and living in the sure and
certain hope of everlasting life with him.
