About Us:

Cross Lutheran Church, New Braunfels, Texas was begun when a group of six from New Braunfels started worship services in 1925 and met in various places in the city during the next few years. The Cross Lutheran congregation was officially organized in 1928 and the Cross Lutheran School was begun in 1931. From the original group of six persons, this congregation has grown to its present membership near 700 souls. Ten pastors have served Cross Lutheran over the years. Pastor Don Fraker has been the shepherd of Cross since August 1998.

Cross Lutheran Church was located at Cross and Hickory Street in New Braunfels from 1942 until a new Education Wing and temporary Worship Center were built and opened in August, 2002. The dedication of the new facilities at 2171 E. Common Street in New Braunfels was on October 27, 2002.

Presently the congregation offers an adult bible study for almost every day of the week. In addition to the adult choir, there are 6 different bell choirs, two quilting groups, Whole Person Health Ministry, Dorcas Guild (LWML) with 4 different circles, Altar Guild, LLL Men’s Club, youth groups for grades 1st through Senior High, and of course the flourishing Cross Lutheran School encompassing Pre School through 8th grade. Presently Cross School has over 100 students.

Plans for the future include a sanctuary at the present location and additional modular classrooms. God has blessed Cross Lutheran Church and School and its members since its early beginnings. From the small group of 6 people, Cross now has over 600 members. For almost 80 years, by God’s grace, Cross Lutheran Church and School has been proclaiming and teaching His Word in truth and purity so that many have come to know and grow in Christ’s forgiving love. To God be the glory!
