Welcome
We are so glad you found us! Cottonwood Presbyterian Church has been a witness to Christ’s love, grace, and hope in the southeast part of the Salt Lake Valley for over 70 years. We are a warm, friendly, and diverse congregation that enjoys worshipping together using a variety of musical styles. Most folks know us because of our SOUL Garden which is a community garden that has been on our property since the 1980s or because of our work with one of our many mission partners.
Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:00 a.m.
Nursery Care available from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.
Lent 2026: Wilderness
Lent begins in the wilderness. The Spirit leads Jesus into a place of testing and uncertainty, where he comes face to face with temptation, hunger, and vulnerability. Yet in those forty days of fasting, resisting, and wandering, Jesus is shaped for the ministry that lies ahead. In this Lenten season, we are invited into that same wilderness journey.
Lent calls us to loosen our grip on what feels safe and familiar and to trust the wild, sometimes unsettling leadings of the Spirit. We rarely choose the wilderness for ourselves, but it is often there that we remember who we are and whose we are. Even when the wilderness feels dangerous or disorienting, it can become holy ground. There is no place too harsh or too broken for God’s love to meet us.
This Lent, we invite you to journey with us through the wilderness, trusting that God is already there.
life together
Life Together: Here at Cottonwood we seek to be a community in Christ together, for the World. We do that by worshipping together, serving together, learning together and just being together. Here are some ways to get connected in the following weeks.
One of the many ways we hear the voice of God is through art.
I have found that music is especially meaningful for me in my exegetical process as I listen for what God is saying to us each week in our scripture and how that is expressed in sermon.
I invite you to listen to this playlist that I have curated as we all prepare to hear what God has to say to us this week in worship.
Enjoy! Pastor Nathan
