Below you will see a brief descriptions of our weekend worship services. Try
them all! We encourage service hopping, as it proves to be the best way to meet
new people, keep up with old friends and be an encouragement to new members.
Above all, we hope to allow you the best opportunity to worship the way that is
most appropriate for you. We know that the God of all creativity is pleased that
we want to worship Him in a variety of ways—all of this is solely for His glory.
This has been true since the time of the greatest church musician (who was also
a great Lutheran) Johann Sebastian Bach!
The foundational music at most 5 pm services comes our lovely Goulding and
Wood pipe organ, constructed in 1986. It has 28 ranks with tracker action. Vocal
and instrumental soloists add to the hymnody used to praise God during this
service. The atmosphere is casual and intimate. Communion is served on first and
third weekends each month.
The organ is featured in this service; its foundation is Marty Haugen’s Now
the Feast and Celebration. Occasionally we return to the Order of Service
from the Traditional Lutheran Book of Worship. The Sanctuary Choir leads this
majestic service with anthems and contemporary prayer songs, completed by
congregational hymn singing and both vocal and instrumental soloists. Communion
is served on second and fourth weekends each month.

This popular service is led by Good News!, a worship team including keyboard,
percussion, guitars, bass and vocalists. Included in the service format are the
primary facets of Lutheran worship: prayer; praise; sacraments; confession and
absolution; Scripture and a message. Our audio and visual resources impact this
worship time through the use of speakers, amplifiers, projectors and screens.
Communion is served on first and third weekends each month.
