Holy Cross United Methodist Church

About this church

Holy Cross United Methodist Church in Stockton worships Sundays at 10:30 a.m. in English in the sanctuary and online. A Tongan-language service meets Sundays at 2:00 p.m. except on the first Sunday of the month. Music is led through keyboard, choir, and soloists, and a nursery attendant supports families during the English service. The church has worshiped at its Hammer Lane location since Christmas Day 1960.

Founded in 1957 with help from other Stockton Methodist congregations, Holy Cross connects worship with growing in faith and making disciples. Its mission statements address family and community life, dignity across age and ability, and care for people facing practical needs. An emergency food distribution and small groups provide additional avenues for connection. A first-time visitor should choose the appropriate language service, arrive early for nursery directions, or use the livestream for the 10:30 gathering. The Tongan service exception and food-distribution dates are important to confirm, especially on first Sundays and holiday weekends.
