What To Expect
The Lutheran Church is a liturgical church. That means that the basic pattern of our worship is drawn from services that have been used by Christians for many centuries, all across the world. The components of the liturgy come from the Bible and serve to focus our worship on the Word of God and our response to it in faith. Our liturgy is filled with hymns and responsive songs. At every service, you will receive a pre-printed bulletin that will guide you through the service from our hymnal.
