About Us

Welcome!

We are located in Mill Creek, Washington just south of Everett on 132nd Street SE. We are easily accessible from all across south Snohomish County and conveniently located near Interstate 5. Cedar Cross is an active church that tries to live our United Methodist theme of Open Hearts, Open Minds and Open Doors.

We have a diverse membership of adults, seniors, youth, and children of all ages! We have a strong Sunday school curriculum for children, youth and adults. Our worship services offer many ways to help you deepen your spiritual awareness of God’s work in us, in our community and in the world. We are pleased that you are interested in CCUMC.

We hope you will consider worshipping God and serving others with us. If there is any way we can be of service to you or your family in your faith journey, please let us know. There is a place of belonging for you here at Cedar Cross United Methodist Church. We look forward to meeting you.

From Pastor Cathy:

Cedar Cross offers an inclusive, progressive voice in articulating our Christian faith, inviting all people to participate in our spiritual community and worship life – conventional Christians and questioning skeptics, those of all sexual orientations and gender identities, those of all races and cultures, those of all classes and abilities, those who hope for a better world and those who have lost hope. 

We don’t claim to have all the answers. We wrestle with our questions in the midst of community as we seek to follow Jesus. We believe that we find spiritual awakening, challenge, growth, and fulfillment throughout the liturgical seasons of exploring scripture of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection. Walking fully in the path of Jesus can lead to experiencing Divine love and grace, healing and wholeness, and unity of all life, even as we recognize that the Holy Spirit moves in beneficial ways in many faith traditions and other paths to God.

We have formed ourselves into a church that is dedicated to equipping one another for the work we feel called to do: striving for peace and justice, stewarding God’s creation of the earth, and bringing hope to those on the margins.

If you are wondering about God or looking for others to accompany you in an authentic spiritual journey toward meaning and hope, grace and belonging, please consider reaching out to us or join us in worship.

Yours in Christ,
Cathlynn Law, Pastor

Our Mission

To create a community that nurtures and empowers people to be disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.

Our Vision

We are a community deeply grounded in the love of God: enthusiastically welcoming all into the life of our church; earnestly seeking to be disciples of Jesus Christ; empowering each other in our faith journey through study, worship and service; lovingly nurturing the physical and spiritual needs of children; preaching a progressive expression of the message of Jesus Christ; compassionately reaching out in service to those in need; actively engaged in promoting justice for all; and gratefully committed to the responsible stewardship of all of God’s creation.

INCLUSION

We believe God’s love extends to all creation. As a Reconciling Congregation, we welcome and fully include LGBTQ people in the life of the Church.

NURTURING

PROGRESSIVE

We encourage open dialogue. We believe in taking the Bible seriously, not literally and encourage people to be curious and ask questions.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH/FORMATION

Spiritual growth is foundational. We strive to grow in our relationship to God so that we are able and prepared to show God’s love in the world.

COMPASSIONATE

We seek first to understand before being understood. More than anything Jesus teaches us to be compassionate rather than judgmental; to be compassionate as God is compassionate.
