You’re Invited to Join Us For Worship

Wondering what it's actually like to visit Christ Lutheran? We know that stepping into a new church can feel uncertain, so let's walk through exactly what you can expect from the moment you arrive until you leave.

What to Expect on Sundays

A Warm Welcome

From the moment you arrive, someone will be there to say hello. Our greeters will point you to the Welcome Desk, where you’ll meet a friendly face, get a welcome folder, and if you’d like — fill out a visitor card.

Meet and Mingle

Before the service, you’ll find people chatting and catching up. Our pastor and elders move through the crowd to greet guests and members alike. Don’t be surprised if they introduce themselves – we’re genuinely glad you’re here.

Worship Together

Our service blends meaningful tradition with a warm, welcoming atmosphere. You’ll hear Scripture, sing hymns, pray, and listen to a sermon that connects God’s Word to daily life. We begin with a candlelit procession and follow the liturgy, a rhythm that has connected believers for centuries.

Stay and Connect

Many people stay to chat over coffee, reconnect with friends, or welcome new faces. It’s an easy time to meet people and start building relationships — we’d love for you to be part of it.

How long are your services?

Services typically last about 1 hour and 15 minutes. At the end of each service, we serve Holy Communion.

What should I wear to service?

Our dress code is quite open – we simply ask that clothing be appropriate for worship.

Do you offer childcare on Sundays?

While we don’t operate a traditional nursery, we provide a side room equipped with toys where parents can take children if needed. This room includes a TV streaming the live service. Our pastor always delivers a children’s sermon before the main sermon, and once monthly, our puppet ministry presents the children’s message.

What type of hymns do you sing?

All hymns are chosen by our pastor following the church year calendar, incorporating important Lutheran seasons like Advent, Lent, Easter, and Christmas. All hymns are approved by the LCMS (Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod) and can be found in the Lutheran Service Book.

Can visitors participate in communion?

Communion is very sacred to us, and we ask that all participants first consult with our pastor or an elder to discuss their intentions. While you don’t need to be a church member, we want to make certain your intentions align with our beliefs before participating.

What Sunday school classes are available?

We offer classes from preschool through high school during the school year (classes don’t meet during summer). Younger children engage in Bible crafts while older students might explore materials like comic books that connect Biblical stories to modern understanding. All students begin together in the sanctuary for opening lessons and songs before separating into age groups.

Do you offer a Bible study?

Yes, we have multiple Bible study opportunities both on Sundays and Tuesdays. Please see the meeting schedule on our Bible Study page.

How can I get involved in the church?

We encourage prayer before volunteering to determine if involvement would be a good fit. The best starting point is speaking with our pastor or elders about opportunities. Visit our welcome desk for more information about available positions.
