God's love in Jesus Christ moves us to respond in various ministries. We are moved to worship, to study His word and to serve in our church and our community. We invite participation in our ministries as you also respond to God's love.
We Worship as Lutherans
We call worship the Divine Service. In worship God serves us with His grace and His Spirit to encourage and strengthen us with the power to live new, exciting, and purposeful LIFE.

The Lord's Meal
The Lord’s
Meal (Holy Communion) is served on the 1st and 3rd
Sundays of each month
and the preceding Saturdays.
What is the benefit of Jesus’ Meal?
That is shown us by these words, “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins”; namely, that in Jesus’ Meal forgiveness of sins, life and salvation are given us through these words. For where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation.
Who receives such benefits and is welcome at the Lord’s Meal?
That person is truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words, “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” But whoever does not believe these words, or doubts, is unworthy and unprepared; for the words ‘for you’ require all hearts to believe.”
