In the wake of the devastating Pacific Palisades wildfires, Holy Cross Lutheran Church is embracing a renewed call to serve our neighbors with compassion, stability, and the hope of Christ.

A joyful expression of this commitment is the new Holy Cross Youth Sports Center opening on September 8.

Our Story

Since 1948, Holy Cross has been — in the truest sense — the vintage church of the Pacific Palisades. One of the oldest congregations in our community, we stand on deep roots and a long witness to God’s faithfulness.

Over the past five years, our ministry leaders have emphasized what we call vintage theology: not old‑fashioned, not nostalgic, but enduring. It’s the living and abiding Word of God — unchanging because the Lord Himself is unchanging. Scripture tells us His Word endures forever, and that promise anchors everything we preach, teach, and practice.

In a world swirling with chaos, rapid change, and constant noise, Holy Cross remains a place of calm confidence. Not confidence in ourselves, but in the certain assurance God gives through His Word. Here, people can rest in what is sure: His life‑giving truth, His unfailing hope, and His steadfast promises.

This is the heart of a vintage church: Not old, but enduring. Not outdated, but timeless. Not clinging to the past, but rooted in what has never failed.
