The Old Rugged Cross Church, Michigan, United States
5.0 (2 reviews) Spent 1-2 hours Ranking #7 in Cass County Religious Sites • Churches & Cathedrals
Interesting piece of local and national history
This is the location where the song, "The Old Rugged Cross" was first sung in its entirety. The church has been renovated beautifully and a garden established near it for a contemplative walk. If you do some advance planning, an interior tour is possible that also includes a nice museum. The interior is simple, but with an unexpected elegance and a fascinating history. Be sure to make a contribution if you are offered a tour. This church is a religious treasure.

great place to enjoy hymns
we have been attending the hymn sings here this year - 1st and 3rd Sundays at 6pm - on the 3rd Sundays they also have a concert at 3pm - if you love to sing/hear the old hymns, this is the place to be - they will close up for the winter - Dec 1 is the last one for this year - and start up again with a Good Friday service in 2020 - they have a Facebook page if you'd like more info - very nicely restored old church - they take a free-will offering - no charge
