We are an ecumenical church formed of two parishes, one ELCA and one Roman Catholic.  Lutheran Church of The Cross was founded in conjunction with, but independent of, Holy Cross Catholic Church.

For 24 years we have been attempting to remove some of the barriers that have separated our two Churches for the past 500 years. We believe that the issues dividing us are far less significant than those which unite us.   

Three reasons for beginning our congregation in West Fargo were...

To provide a Word and sacrament ministry to the people of West Fargo

To grow in membership and stewardship response

To develop a model of ecumenical relationships with the neighboring Roman Catholic parish.
