Cross and Crown Lutheran Church

About this church

Cross and Crown Lutheran Church offers Sunday services at 8:15 and 10:15 a.m. at 300 Pineville–Matthews Road in Matthews. The earlier gathering follows a traditional Lutheran pattern with liturgy, prayers, readings from Scripture, a psalm, and hymns. The later family contemporary service uses modern prayers, contemporary Christian music, a band, and a more relaxed style, giving visitors two distinct ways to worship within the same ELCA congregation.

The church describes itself as a welcoming community where people can dress comfortably, make friends, receive encouragement, and connect over coffee. Its children, youth, and family ministry views faith formation as a cradle-to-graduation journey, with age-based education and social experiences intended to help families feel known and children understand Christ's love. Ministry opportunities extend into fellowship, spiritual growth, and community service during the week. Because the two services differ in style, a first-time guest can choose based on preference and verify the event calendar for any seasonal change.
