The shape of the hour
Music is a mixture of traditional hymns from the Lutheran hymnal and contemporary Christian songs. On various Sundays we also have special music. Choir practice is Wednesdays at noon. Guest preacher Paul Looker, retired superintendent of the Lutheran High School Association, visits several times a year.

If you are visiting
Come as you are
There is no dress code. Some of us wear a collar and tie; some wear work clothes from the week. The point is to be here.
Children belong
Sunday School (PreK–6th) meets at 10:30 from September through June, when numbers allow. High school gathers on Sunday mornings as well. Middle schoolers are invited to OASIS on Thursdays. Wiggles in the pews are not a problem.
OASIS after schoolClosed communion, open door
We practice close(d) communion in the LCMS. If you are a visitor and wish to receive, speak with Pastor Paul before the service. You are welcome at worship either way.
Our regular pattern has been two Sunday services (8:15 and 10:45), with a single 10:15 service and potluck on the first Sunday, October through May. For now we continue with one Sunday service at 9:30 until further notice.
