Gloria De Cristo Lutheran Church

About this church

Gloria de Cristo Lutheran Church in the Foothills area of Yuma, Arizona is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and worships at 11273 East 40th Street. The website lists a Sunday service at 9:30 a.m., streamed live on Facebook and posted to YouTube by midday, and notes that service times change with the seasons, so visitors should confirm the current schedule. Worship follows the lectionary, with Word and Sacrament at the center, open communion, and fellowship after the service. A potluck follows the late-morning service on the first Sunday of the month. The congregation began as a winter visitor ministry and became a year-round church in the 1990s.

Care ministries are a major focus. GriefShare meets every Sunday at noon in the Fellowship Classroom, and trained Stephen Ministers offer free, confidential one-to-one support to members and non-members alike. Sacramentarians bring communion to people who cannot get to worship, and pastoral visits can be requested through the church office. Recurring activities include Bible studies, a choir and handbell choir, the Glorious Quilters, chair aerobics, line dancing in winter, a Days for Girls project, and monthly men's and ladies' breakfasts. An annual yard sale and holiday bazaar are held each year. A three-week course introduces prospective members. The office is open weekdays.
