WELCOME!

Whether you're just starting your spiritual journey or looking for ways to grow deeper in your faith, Cross & Crown Lutheran Church (ELCA) in Indianapolis, Indiana is a great place to be.


The community of Cross and Crown welcomes each and every person with openness, understanding and appreciation. No exceptions.

  • We especially welcome and support those who have felt excluded from the spiritual community.
  • We commit ourselves to treat each person as an equally loved, forgiven, accepted, and blessed child of God.
  • We profess the worth and dignity of every person and recognize each one as created in the image of God.

This means: Cross and Crown welcomes and invites people of all races, ages, cultural backgrounds, sexual orientation or identity, marital status, physical and mental abilities, family structure and economic status.


As a community we live into the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19) which is God’s gift for all people.


All are welcome in this place!

LIVE-STREAMED ONLINE WORSHIP

We currently offer live-streamed online worship on Sundays. Worhsip will be lead by Matthew Rhea, Deacon Marilyn, and a limited number of worship assistants which will include Holy Communion in the Home. This service is a livestream service being led by our worship leaders who are inside the Sanctuary at Cross and Crown. You can view the service by going to our YouTube channel. 


The video will go live about 10:20 am on Sunday. You’ll be able to hear the prelude as we all prepare for the service which will begin at 10:30 am. Join with others to watch at the same time and check in on the chat feature on your device (but not on a TV).


The service will be recorded and available for viewing during the week. So, even if you can’t watch “live” you will still be able to worship.
