Are my children welcome?

All children are welcome in our community gatherings. We welcome children to gather and worship with us. We are a young church and are used to the delightful sounds of youth in our worship. We also offer a nursery staffed by trained leaders who will watch the fussy child or provide a safe place to care for your child if she should need a break.

In addition to worship, we have a wonderful Sunday Church School program for all ages beginning at 9:45. The nursery is open and staffed from 8:00am to 12:30pm. We also have an active youth program for 5th through 12th graders that meets on Sundays, Wednesdays, and weekend retreats and programs year round.

Are you going to tell me what's wrong with me?

If someone tells you the good news, and it doesn’t sound like good news, it is not good news!

Our message is based on God’s never ending love for all of creation. We are loved so much, Christ has set us free from what weighs us down and gives us new hope. Our community is based on this hope. We are not a community that dwells in what we have done wrong, but rejoices in how we have been forgiven. We are a church that celebrates daily the good news in Jesus.

Do I have to dress up?

Absolutely not! Come to our community and you will see some people in dresses and suits and others in jeans and tee shirts. All are welcome, no strings attached.

Do I have to stand up in front of people?

Some churches ask visitors to stand up and introduce themselves to the congregation. While we applaud their desire to get to know their guests, some people may not be comfortable doing this.

Our congregation is a community of very warm and welcoming members. This is one of our great gifts. We are sure you will come to know those who are around your seat in worship.

What is being Lutheran all about?

Some believe we are named for Maritn Luther King Jr. This is in part true; Martin Luther King Junior was named after the man whose teachings have influenced us. Lutherans embrace the teaching of Martin Luther, a 16th century monk and preacher who began the reformation of the church. We are named after him in honor of what he taught us about the love and forgiveness of God. Luther taught that we can do nothing to get to heaven. God is the one who forgives us and welcomes us into life everlasting. Because we are forgiven and loved, we are called to act as a follower, not to get into heaven, but out of thanks for what we are given.

Our church is a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, a church body of 5 million people from around the United States.

Where do I fit in (when I don't know what to believe)?

Our community is a group of wanderers all seeking God at different stages in life. We are all on a journey from lost to found. We welcome all people, wherever their life and faith may be. Join us as we tackle questions and seek God together.

Will I know what to do during the church service?

Our worship program has information in it about when we stand, when we sit, what songs we sing, even announcements and scripture passages. This is done to make worship with us as simple and easy to follow as possible.
