Our Story
Rooted in Faith. Growing in Love. Reaching Our Community.

At Holy Cross, you’ll discover a vibrant, Christ-centered faith community dedicated to connecting people to abundant life in Christ. Throughout your journey with us, you’ll experience uplifting worship services, engaging Bible studies, and diverse activities for personal and community growth for all ages.

Each Monday–Thursday from September 8 through November 19, our campus will come alive from 3:00–6:00 PM with children enjoying sports, community, and meaningful accomplishment before heading home happy.
Welcome to Holy Cross Lutheran Church
A community rooted in Christ, built up in grace, and sent with joy into the world.
At Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Pacific Palisades, our life together begins and ends with the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We joyfully confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and we trust the Gospel as the power of God for all who believe. Everything we are, everything we teach, and everything we do flows from this living confession.
🌿 Rooted in Christ
We believe the Gospel—recorded in Holy Scripture, proclaimed in the ecumenical creeds, and confessed in the Lutheran Confessions—is God’s power to create faith, sustain believers, and send His people into the world with hope. Through Word and Sacrament, Christ comforts the weary, strengthens the faithful, and gathers us into a community shaped by His grace.
✝️ Built Up in Faith
Our core values come directly from the apostle Paul’s encouragement:
“Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith… abounding in thanksgiving.” — Colossians 2:10
We seek to walk in Christ daily—growing deeper in Scripture, richer in prayer, and stronger in love for one another. Whether in worship, study, fellowship, or service, our aim is to reflect the heart of Jesus in all things.
🌎 Sent for God’s Mission
God’s mission is not an idea—it’s a calling. We believe the Holy Spirit equips every believer to serve, bless, and witness in their homes, workplaces, neighborhoods, and beyond. At Holy Cross, you’ll find a church eager to engage the community with compassion, truth, and the hope of Christ.
🤝 A Place to Belong
Whether you’re exploring faith, returning to church, or seeking a Christ-centered community for your family, Holy Cross welcomes you. Here you will find:
- Christ-centered worship
- Biblical teaching anchored in grace
- Community life shaped by prayer and service
- A warm, intergenerational family of believers
🌅 Come Walk in Him
We invite you to join us— to worship, to grow, to serve, and to discover the joy of being rooted, built up, and established in Christ.
