Welcome to
CROSS LUTHERAN
CHURCH & SCHOOL
LOVE | WALK | GROW
Cross Lutheran is a vibrant and active family of faith in Yorkville, Illinois where people of all upbringings and identities can learn about and follow Jesus. All are welcome to join together on a mission as we Walk with God, Grow in Faith Together, and Love Our Neighbors.
We believe a follower of Jesus will mature as a disciple of Jesus through the intentional processes of spiritual formation and leadership multiplication. Jesus’ work on earth is not limited to a few people in a few places but is gifted to all believers in all places. At Cross we encourage and challenge each other to be in the presence of Jesus right where you are.
Current Sunday Sermon Series: James: Back 2 Basics*
Good Works are NOT a requirement for faith, or a sign to prove your salvation. Good Works ARE a faithful response to the Gospel in your life, and allow us to keep strengthening that faith. As we put our faith into action, it grows and refines, strengthens and shines! It becomes attractive to others and a blessing in our lives.
James is 108 verses long. 54 of those verses are calling us back to the basics of the faith. Putting our faith into action through the word, prayer, giving, weekly worship, serving, speaking, and humility. James calls us to put our faith into action in many ways and in all different types and walks of life, NOT to do them all at once, but to start with the basics and keep practicing.
Join us as we get Back to Basics and set God as our priority! Start with the Word: read James with us, then worship each week and get connected in Christian community. You’ll be amazed at how refreshing life with our Savior and each other can be!
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7

For by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10
