What to Expect

What are services like?
Liturgical Christian worship services are held each Sunday at 9:30am in our Sanctuary. The divine service contains two parts: Word and Sacrament ministry. We receive God's promises through the reading of the scriptures and preaching of His word. We receive eternal life through baptism in Christ's name. We are renewed by the gift of His body and blood in the Lord's Supper for the nourishment of our faith. We enjoy communion with one another as we return thanksgiving to God for His bountiful gifts and await the return of His Son Jesus Christ on the last day. If you would like to meet a Man who loves you enough to die for you come and join us for the Sunday divine service and Bible study. For those who are home-bound or otherwise unable to attend worship services at their local church the button below will take you to our YouTube channel where sermons are posted weekly.

What is the community like?
The congregation is small - A small town style church in the heart of an urban area.

What if I'm not a Christian?
No problem! Stop in and ask questions. Pastor Helms would love to chat with you prior to service. You can also hang out afterwards to learn more then.


Leadership

James Helms Jr.
Rev.

The leadership of Holy Cross consists of two parts. First is the pastor who guides the spiritual growth and development of the church through proclaiming God's word and teaching the doctrines of our faith. Second is the Executive Steering Committee. This three man team includes the president, vice-president, and treasurer. Together they manage the administrative needs of the church. Pastor Helms was ordained at Holy Cross in August of 2023 and has served as the congregation's pastor since. He and his wife, Jessica, have three children. He enjoys chess, reading, and dad jokes.
