Sunday School for children starts September 13, 2026. ~~ All children are welcome!
We know that visiting a new church can sometimes feel intimidating. Our goal at Faith Lutheran is to make you feel completely at home the moment you walk through our doors.
We are a small, friendly congregation. You won't get lost in a massive crowd here; instead, you'll find a church family that genuinely cares for one another and is eager to welcome you.
Our worship is traditional, reverent, and entirely focused on God’s grace. We follow the historic liturgy of the Christian Church. If you have never attended a liturgical service before, don't worry! We provide everything you need to easily follow along.
We want to show respect for our Creator God, and that will mean different things to different people. You will find a range from casual to dressy. Our building is not air-conditioned.
Yes! We want children to grow up in the church and that means being a part of Sunday worship. Don't worry if your child gets restless, chatters, or starts to cry. This is what young children do! If you feel the need, you can walk around in the back of the church or take your child downstairs.
You are welcome to join in our service if you feel comfortable, or you can just listen and observe. It's up to you! We want you to participate as much or as little as you are comfortable with.
All the more reason to come! We are all here to learn. Worship and Bible study are opportunities to grow in our knowledge of the Bible and strengthen our faith in Jesus. You won’t be called on to answer anything! We simply hope to be a place where you can grow.
A liturgical worship service is a traditional service that follows patterns traced back to the New Testament Church, with all parts of the service Biblically based and very meaningful to our worship. We begin our service in the name of the Triune God, we confess our sins and receive the comforting words of forgiveness, we praise God for his mercy, the Pastor reads portions of Scripture, we confess our faith using one of the Church's ancient creeds, the Pastor brings us the message of the day, and we thank God for his Word. All of these parts comprise a liturgical service. And of course we sing hymns! Our services typically last about one hour.
If you are not familiar with a liturgical service, it can be a bit difficult at first. We have a Visitor Guide just for you. There is a copy below if you'd like to review it prior to visiting us, and we will give you a copy when you join us on Sunday.
We in no way expect visitors to give an offering, and we do not pass a collection plate during the service. If you wish to contribute, you can place an offering in the collection plate at the back of the church.
We welcome members of congregations of the Church of the Lutheran Confession (CLC) to join us in the Lord's Supper. We generally celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first Sunday of the month.
If you are not a member of a CLC congregation, we ask that you speak to the Pastor before receiving Communion. Please find more information under 'An important note about our Communion services' at the bottom of this page.
If after visiting our church, you would like to learn more about our beliefs, our Pastor will take you through an instruction course where you will learn about the basic teachings of the Bible and our confession.
This Visitor Guide will walk you through our liturgical worship service.
We have a copy at the church for you so there is no need to print this out, but if you wish to familiarize yourself with our service, this guide will help you.
The Lord’s Supper is a wonderful gift the Lord has given to His church, and we typically celebrate it on the first Sunday of each month. Through it, as the Bible says, we received Jesus’ true body and blood for the forgiveness of sin. But because it is so precious and powerful, the Lord has also commanded us to handle it with great care.
27 Therefore whoever eats this bread or drinks this cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. 28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of the bread and drink of the cup. 29 For he who eats and drinks in an unworthy manner eats and drinks judgment to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body. 1 Corinthians 11:27-29
The Bible also teaches that when people commune together, they are publicly showing that they hold a common belief in all of the Bible’s teachings.
17 For we, though many, are one bread and one body; for we all partake of that one bread. 1 Corinthians 10:17
For these reasons, it is very important to us who communes with us. Therefore, if you are a visitor to our church, but would like to commune with us in the future, we ask that you speak with the pastor so that you can discuss the matter with him. We follow this practice in obedience to the Word of God, and not in judgment of anyone’s Christian faith, sincerity, or standing before God. We thank you for your cooperation in this important matter.
