ALL ENCOMPASSING WELCOME
GOD’S LOVE IS FOR ALL, AND THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU HERE.
JOIN US FOR WORSHIP - SUNDAYS AT 10 AM
In the fall of 2024, our part-time pastor/rector
who we shared with Holy Trinity Episcopal in Wyoming,
retired after having served both Holy Cross and Ascension for over ten years.
As of January 2025, our regular Sunday worship time has been changed to 10:00 AM.
We will continue with this schedule while we are in transition seeking a new shared pastor/rector.
Low-income families with infants & small children often have to choose between diapers and other necessities such as food or transportation. Diaper Depot helps those families stretch their budgets by offering a free package of diapers and wipes, and currently serves an average of 175 infants & children each month.

Much of our community ministry efforts focus on supporting organizations that seek to find solutions to poverty, and more specifically food insecurity. This includes the Green Apple Food Pantry, St. Mark's Breakfast Cafe, and IHN (Interfaith Hospitality Network - a program of Family Promise of Grand Rapids). Our ministries include monthly collections as well as special events.
Matthew 22:36-40 teaches us that we are to love our neighbors as ourselves, and it is our understanding that this means EVERYONE. We strive to show that love in a tangible way through a variety of programs and volunteer events. Reflecting a key phrase of the ELCA, this is "God's Work. Our Hands."
