What happens on Sunday?
Arrival Time
Many people arrive about 10 minutes before worship begins. This is a great time to settle in, meet new people, or pray.
Location
Cross Lutheran Church and School
2171 Common St.
New Braunfels, TX 78130
Children
We love seeing your kids grow in their faith while they participate in worship. Each Sunday, one of our pastors shares a brief message just for them during the worship service too!
What to Wear
You'll be welcome here no matter what you wear. Many like to put on their Sunday best, and lots of people wear more casual clothes too.
Worship Style
We participate in "traditional" Lutheran worship, and love the way this helps us keep Jesus at the center of our life together. In the liturgy of the Divine Service, our God blesses us through His Word and His sacramental gifts.
Teaching
God's Word forms the foundation of every single sermon and Bible class. Learning about Jesus is at the heart of everything we do here.
COVID-19
While these past several months have been hard for so many in our community, the time has come to return to a worship life without many of the precautions we had been following. Our aim is to love one another well while continuing to offer both on-campus and online worship services for you.
Safety Team
Our highly-trained Safety Team strives to prevent injuries of any kind. They work discreetly and vigilantly, always watching for any situation that might pose a danger to those who are gathered for worship.

Worship Services
We would love to have you join us for worship on Sunday at 8:30am or 11:00am! Whether you worship with us online or on campus, you can count on some amazing things to be true: Jesus will be with you, you will hear the Word of God in what we say and sing, and the Good News of Jesus will be at the very center of our time together. If there is something you would like to know about the way we worship here at Cross, please reach out to one of our Pastors!
Communion
We celebrate the Lord's Supper each Sunday at Cross. This sacrament is available during the 8:30am service on the 2nd and 4th Sundays... and during the 11:00am service on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays.
Communion is an amazing blessing to be celebrated by baptized Christians who have been instructed in the Bible's teachings about the Lord's Supper. Jesus is truly present in, with, and under the physical elements of bread and wine. He meant what He said on the night He instituted this holy meal; we receive His very body and blood from Him as a gift. We also believe that the Lord's Supper is a powerful statement of what a person believes, and that our unity of confession together is an important part of participating in this Sacrament. Our Pastors would be happy to talk with you about any questions you may have!
Children
Children have a special place in the heart of Jesus... and in the heart of our Cross family too. In addition to our fully accredited day school ministry, we also offer Sunday School each week (as well as other wonderful programs throughout the year). We also love to tell kids about Jesus during the worship service in a way that is especially for their young ears and hearts. As you might imagine, there are quite a few things that have to happen differently these days. Please be sure to visit our Reopening page as you plan to bring your family to worship and Sunday School!
Bible Classes
We are once again offering in-person classes on Sunday mornings at 10am. Spending time in God's Word is a vital part of our life together as a Cross Family. If you aren't quite ready to come on campus with us, be sure to watch our Bible Study videos when they Premiere on both Facebook and YouTube each Sunday morning at 10am.
Our small groups are also wonderful opportunities for God's people to spend time with one another and to grow in the Christian faith! If you would like to know more about this, please visit our small groups page on this website.
Tacos and Coffee
After more than a year-long stretch without enjoying coffee together on campus, we are so excited for to share a cup with you again! Coffee will be available outside on our central patio in the time between our worship services. So grab a fresh cup and enjoy a much needed time of conversation. Whenever we aren't in the midst of a global pandemic, sharing breakfast tacos and donuts with you is one of our favorite things. Well, actually, it still is... but these will have to wait for a little while longer. If you want the full "Cross experience" even when we have to keep a physical distance from each other, be sure to enjoy some tacos and coffee wherever you are watching our live stream!
Previous Sermons
Everything we believe and do at Cross begins with Jesus. He is the Living Word of God who saves us from sin, death, and the devil. This rescue is a pure gift for us; Christ has done for us what we could never do on our own.
This truly is Good News for you, and it is the story we encounter in the Bible. We trust every word of the Scriptures as the perfect message for us from our perfect God. Each story and verse points us to Jesus, who is Himself both the Author and the Object of our faith.
