Cross & Crown Lutheran Church

About this church

Cross & Crown Lutheran Church, an ELCA congregation in Indianapolis, gathers for worship on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. from Labor Day to Memorial Day. The summer schedule moves worship to 9:30 a.m. Christian education is offered on Sunday mornings before the service. Worship includes reflection, confession, and celebration, and communion is served at the altar rail. Anyone who prefers to stay seated can have it brought to them. The Passing of the Peace can be a handshake, a hug, or a simple wave. Services are also streamed on YouTube, and past services are archived on the website.

Music is a large part of congregational life. The adult choir rehearses Wednesday evenings at 7 p.m. from September to May, and a bell choir rehearses after Sunday worship. Other offerings include an adult Sunday school in the Fellowship Hall, men's and women's Bible studies on select Saturday mornings, a book group, Pub Theology, Dinner Church, and Stephen Ministry. Youth programs are listed for kindergarten through sixth grade, middle school, and high school. Peter Panda Preschool, the congregation's preschool ministry, meets Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from September through May. Members take part in community service projects and collect donations for a local food pantry. The church is at 5233 E. 79th St. The site says the nursery was unavailable at the time of writing, so families with infants may want to confirm before visiting. Check the website for current times.
