Those who HOPE in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles…

(Isaiah 40:31)

A spiritual home. A fresh beginning in Christ for all.

For Everyone

Divine Service with Holy Communion takes place each Sunday at 8:00 and 10:30 AM. Adult Bible Class starts at 9:15 AM.

For Younger Children

Sunday School classes start at 9:15 AM for: Preschoolers, Kindergarten though 2nd, and 3rd through 5th.

For Older Kids

Confirmation (6th/7th grades) and Youth Group (7th through 12th grades) also start at 9:15 AM on Sundays.

We believe, teach and confess…

That Holy Scripture is the inerrant, revealed word of God, and the lens that focuses our worship, teaching and interaction with others.

The three ecumenical creeds, the Augsburg Confession, Luther’s Small and Large Catechism. These inspire us to love and serve God, each other, and our community.

That Holy Communion imparts the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ as well as forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation.
