Campus Discipleship
Our mission at Holy Cross is Growing disciples of Jesus Christ for life. It’s during the young adult years that most Christians are wondering what they believe and why. Our goal is to help you think critically about your faith during these formative years and gain the leadership skills to help others mature in their faith too.
Why would you pick Holy Cross as your faith community during your young adult years?
God designed us for community. The very nature of God’s existence in the Trinity shows us that God loves relationships. And look at all the specific names in Acts & Paul’s letters! We do life together at Holy Cross. We support, encourage, and challenge each other.
We love dialoguing tough questions, so we have nights like our annual “Ask Pastor Anything Night” with Pastor John, who has his doctorate in apologetics.
We root our lives in Scripture. That’s why our theme verse for our weekly ROOTED Tuesday evening dinner and bible study is: Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving. Colossian 2:6-7 ESV.
We also like to play and serve together. During the last four fall breaks, we traveled to serve our sister church, Bethlehem Lutheran, in inner city St. Louis. We have game nights, Colorado hiking trips, pumpkin carving, barbeques, and our summer church softball league!
You’re busy, we know. We’d love to see you when you can join us. And if you have to pick only one thing, we encourage you to attend worship. Don’t underestimate how the Holy Spirit works through preaching, the sacraments, and singing and praying with other Christians. Stick around before and after worship for a cup of coffee and get to know the church community. They love college students! And who knows, it may help you land a job someday!
