Worship with Us
Traditional Service | Sundays at 8:30 a.m.
Contemporary Service | Sundays at 10:45 a.m.
Service Styles
All of our services include music with congregational singing, corporate confession and declaration of forgiveness, prayer, a Bible reading, and a message proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ.
At our traditional service, we sing hymns accompanied by the organ and use a liturgy from the Lutheran Book of Worship. At our contemporary service, you’ll experience a more informal atmosphere with contemporary Christian worship music led by a praise band of guitars and drums.
Communion
On the first and third Sundays of the month, our worship services include communion. When directed by an usher, individuals come to the front of the sanctuary to receive the bread and wine. Gluten-free wafers and non-alcoholic grape juice are also available. All who are moved by the Holy Spirit are welcome to join us at the Lord’s Table.
