There are multiple dimensions to the life of a church. Our church is loved by God, and he shares his love with us as we gather together, especially in worship where he shares his gifts with us. As we know we are loved, God also sends his church to show his love to the world.
Every church is blessed with a different set of talents and resources to use as channels to show God’s love. At Reliant, we use our talents and resources to focus on our ministry platforms and community groups that meet on a regular basis. Read about our ministry platforms below. If you’d like to get connected to a community group or learn more about them, contact Pastor Nathan (nathan.schultz@cmstl.org).
Reliant Ministry Platforms
Crave Coffeehouse
Uniquely located between the Saint Louis University medical campus and the Gate District West neighborhood, Crave operates as a coffee shop Monday through Saturday, serving students and neighbors. Along with our church, we seek to live out our mission, “I’ll meet you there” in everything we do.
Reliant College Ministry
College Ministry at Reliant is focused on two things: connection and community. We want students to stay connected to Christ during their time at college and nurtured in their faith. Community is an important part of this faith growth with a community group specifically for college students meeting weekly. Reliant is a multigenerational welcoming church family integrating students into our community through Sunday worship, service and fellowship events. We know Reliant will be a place where students consistently experience the love of Christ and we hope it can truly become a home away from home! Read more about our college ministry.

Christ Memorial Productions
Christ Memorial Productions is a musical theater group and integrated ministry that combines the gifts and talents of those within the church and those from the community. CMP promotes an equal opportunity for all experience levels. We started with the intention to perform one musical production in the fall of each year.
We have had the pleasure of performing to more than 20,000 people, earning numerous theatrical awards, and continuing to grow. We hope to become a greater presence in the local theatrical community, expand our creative opportunities, and continue producing outstanding shows that CMP has become known for.
We invite you to join Christ Memorial Productions family!
Christ Memorial Health Center
The Christ Memorial Health Center exists to offer hope and healing in a welcoming, supportive environment for church members and community members alike. The Center does this by encouraging health in body, mind, and spirit through fitness, education, and wellness services. While it may be unusual for a church to offer health and fitness services, we do so in order to reflect the reality that Christ came to renew every part of our lives, and calls us to be good stewards of every part of our lives. This includes our bodies and our physical health.
Christ Memorial Health Center offers a
free fitness center, a rehabilitation program (R.E.H.A.B.) in partnership with St. Anthony’s Medical, classes, personal training, and health Coaching.
Christ Memorial Child Care Center
Christ Memorial Child Care Center is a ministry of Christ Memorial Lutheran Church that provides an opportunity for all children to be loved, nurtured, and cared for as God loves, nurtures, and cares for us.
At Christ Memorial Child Care, we believe that children are unique creations of God with individual patterns of growth which affect their development, and that children have a natural desire to learn. We are privileged to foster this desire to learn by providing a warm, safe, and caring environment for your child. It is our responsibility to encourage children’s spiritual, emotional, social, physical, intellectual and creative development. We also believe young children’s play experiences provide an important vehicle for learning. Through play, children are actively engaged in their learning, develop their creativity and language skills, and move from concrete to abstract thinking. Our activities and environment are geared to meet the needs and interests of the individual child.

Christ Memorial and Green Park invite you to explore the vibrant educational community that makes Green Park a place that alumni send their own children. As Christians, we are blessed to have a school that can minister to the entire child – speaking openly of Christ, teaching children to lead a life of sound morals, and providing an opportunity for spiritual growth. Green Park paves the way for students’ academic futures by preparing them for life in high school and beyond.
