Questions & Answers

Here are some answers to common questions.

We follow the worship service found in the Evangelical Lutheran Worship.  This worship service combines elements that go all the way back to the apostolic church with modern elements.  In this way, our worship connects the many generations of Christians.

Kids are welcome at all services!  Select services also have a Children's Church between the children's message and Communion.  This service includes arts, crafts, and allows children to engage with the message at level more appropriate for them.  

Of course, we are also blessed with a great school!  We can't include everything about the school here, but encourage you to check out the "School" tab at the top of the page!

If you're joining us for worship, we recommend parking in our lot right beside the church entrance, off of Plantation Drive. 

If you're visiting our school or meeting with our pastors or team,  please use our guest parking located in the lot next to our Welcome Center, closest to Vine Street/192.

There is no dress code.  You're welcome to wear anything from shorts and a T-shirt to a three-piece suit and everything in between! 

"As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray."   - Martin Luther

We're so happy that you're considering joining us more often! 

When visiting in person, please fill out the new/visiting worshipper cards located at every seat row within the Sanctuary. We're a welcoming congregation, and we look forward to meeting you!

This is a bit of a complex question, but we'd probably say that we believe what we say in The Apostle's Creed.  

As Lutherans, we believe that it is through...

GRACE ALONE

We are saved not by our good deeds but by God's Grace alone.  "Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption this is in Christ Jesus" - Romans 3:24

 

FAITH ALONE

Jesus was the substitute for all people of all time.  By His suffering and death, He purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for us all.  God's word says that we are saved by grace through "faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works" - Ephesians 2:8-9

 

SCRIPTURE ALONE

We view the Bible as God's inerrant and infallible Word.  Through it, God reveals our frailty and need to be saved from our sins.  The scriptures are the only place that we look to truly express our beliefs - not politics, traditions, or human reason.

Anyone who has accepted Christ and has received basic instruction in sharing in Communion is welcome.  If you're unable to physically join us at the altar for Communion, let the usher know.  We'll bring Communion to you!

  • The Body is shared as a small bread wafer. 
  • The Blood is in small individual cups. 
  • Gluten-free wafers and alcohol-free wine/juice are available.  

It's never been easier to make your gift!  You can click here for some easy ways.  Offerings of cash and checks can be made during Communion by placing them in the plate on the altar.  

We also have many opportunities for you to share you gifts of time and talent with the church!
