History

Recognizing the need for an additional church in western Edina, Rev. Arnold Meyer, Minnesota South District Mission Executive and Dale Johnson, District Treasurer determined to seek a church site. After examining several locations in the area, they negotiated the purchase of a fifteen-acre site at a cost of $41,000 in May of 1967.

In May of 1968, the district called the Rev. Benard H. Becker to serve as missionary and organizer of the newly planned congregation and was installed as their first pastor on Sunday, October 6, 1968.

The West Suburban Lutheran Mission began worship services at Creek Valley Elementary School on October 13, 1968. Dale Johnson was elected to serve as president of the new congregation. Christmas was celebrated at Calvary Lutheran Church. As the year ended, the total membership was 45 communicants and 75 baptized souls.

In 1969 the new membership adopted the name Cross View Lutheran Church and elected its first church officers. February 9, 1969 was designated as Charter Sunday and 114 persons were received as charter members of Cross View Lutheran Church, 70 were communicant members.

Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on October 5, 1969 and the church construction began on October 15, 1969. A loan was financed from the Church Extension Fund of the Minnesota South District with a total estimated cost of $260,000, exclusive of furnishings. The first worship service in the new facility was on August 30, 1970. The dedication service for Cross View was held on October 11, 1970.
