United Methodist Church of the Cross

About this church

United Methodist Church of the Cross gathers at 9 a.m. Sunday at 1600 Rush Street in Salina and streams the service on Facebook, with an archive posted to YouTube. The hour includes familiar songs, a thought-provoking sermon, communal prayer, and praise. Child care is available for children under five. Holy Communion is celebrated on first and third Sundays with an open table for anyone seeking God's grace, and a senior Sunday-school class meets in the Courtyard Room after worship.

The congregation identifies with the Great Plains Conference of The United Methodist Church and welcomes people without requiring them to hide questions or differences. Tuesday studies examine Scripture and theology using multiple Bible translations rather than prescribing one version. Fellowship continues through gatherings such as Brew Crew, Meal Club, and Trivia Night, reflecting the church's belief that faith should not be practiced alone. Its history includes strong women leaders and longstanding youth, music, and choir programs; later building expansions added classrooms, a kitchen, and a fellowship hall. A first visit can begin onsite or online, with the post-service class and social groups providing smaller ways to become known.
