Frequently Asked Questions

When and where do we meet?

We meet Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8:15 PM at the west lobby of our main facility.

Yes! We are always looking for parents to do do behind-the-scenes work and adult leaders to support our team.

At Cross, we do not confirm groups at the end of May. We believe that many are not ready. Therefore, we leave that decision up to the family. When your child is ready to be confirmed and celebrate their faith in Christ, they may set up an appointment with one of the pastors and begin heading in that direction. The end result is an individual confirmation.

For more information, please see our “Confirmation” page.

If your child is already confirmed, that is great! Being confirmed is not the end to learning. They are still in their prime years of learning at Cross Lutheran. Remember, we want information to be retained and taken to heart. We still want them to be a part of JHM and we hope they can share their insight and faith with other children.

If your child is unfamiliar with the Bible, we welcome them to join our ministry.  These are the prime years for absorbing God’s Word.  Our high school ministry also nurtures Christian growth.  As a staff, we will teach each youth to the best of our abilities.
