What worship is like
A Divine Service centered on God’s gifts.
God serves His people through His Word, the forgiveness of sins, and the blessing of His presence. We respond to His grace in prayer, hymns, confession, praise, and thanksgiving.
Our worship follows the historic Lutheran liturgy and is accompanied by pipe organ. You may participate as you are comfortable. A printed service folder will guide you through the service.
Holy Communion
Holy Communion is celebrated on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. Because churches have different teachings and practices regarding Communion, please speak with Pastor Brian before receiving if you are visiting for the first time.
