Christ Memorial

Christ Memorial is a 70-year-old congregation with five worship services on two campuses in South St. Louis County and City. In 2005, we relocated from a traditional site to a repurposed former Target retail space. Through this relocation, we discovered innovative and creative ways to engage and enrich our community. These became expressions of our... deep conviction that we are loved in Christ and sent into the world. First and foremost, we are Christians. Our life and faith revolve around a crucified and risen man we believe to be the worlds rightful King. Second, we are Lutheran. As Lutheran Christians, we follow in the gospel-centered heritage of Martin Luther with distinct focus on Gods grace, his gift of faith in us, and the sacred Scriptures as the foundation for our life and work. We dont believe in walking it alone, so we walk together with about 6,000 other congregations across the country in a church body known as The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod . We are a church compelled by two words. We are loved by God in Christ and sent by God into the world. Gods love is proven with blood and a cross. The word mission comes from Latin missio, meaning to send. We go where there is need for the love of Christ. On a weekly basis our church is sent across St. Louis, from South City to Soulard, from the West End to West County, from SLU to Wash U. We pray that the gospel of Jesus continues to go forth, as more people are loved and more people are sent.Read More
