Mount of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church

About this church

Mount of the Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Vail holds Sunday worship at two chapels in the Vail Valley. The morning service begins at 9:30 a.m. at the Vail Chapel, 19 Vail Road in Vail Village, and a second service begins at 11:30 a.m. at the Beaver Creek Chapel, 33 Elk Track near the Beaver Creek ski area. Each service runs about an hour. The congregation is affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, and the Vail chapel has hosted interfaith worship for more than fifty years.

First-time visitors are greeted at the door and handed a bulletin and a hymnal. The bulletin guides the liturgy, with bold type marking the parts the congregation speaks aloud. The site suggests arriving about ten minutes early. There is no dress code, so ski clothing in winter and hiking boots in summer are a common sight. Onsite parking is available at both chapels. Anyone unable to attend in person can join online through the link on the website, and recorded sermons are posted there too. The church also hosts baptisms and weddings through its celebrations page, and a newsletter signup is available for news and events. One page lists a different start time for the second service, so confirm times on the website or by calling 970-476-6610.
