Welcome

All are welcome at Christ Lutheran Church. We emphasize grace, forgiveness, and the reality that God is love. The teachings and example of Jesus call us to love one another and to be an inclusive and affirming community for people of every culture, race, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, relationship status, family makeup, and spiritual background. No matter what challenges you’re facing – physical, mental, spiritual, economic, emotional, moral, or otherwise – we invite you to experience God’s grace with us. There is a place for you here.

Worship Services

Our pastors work diligently each week to bring engaging scripture to life.

At Christ Lutheran, we are also VERY serious about preaching. Our pastors work diligently each week to engage scripture and bring it to life. They connect the Word of God with our everyday lives, and employs a “faith seeking understanding” approach. Their sermons aren’t afraid to address the challenges scripture poses and to admit that sometimes we struggle with certain passages. Overall, they preach with an emphasis on God’s grace for each and every last one of us. Our pastors are also ALWAYS open to hearing your ideas about their preaching. If something in a sermon leaves you with a question or a comment, they want to hear about it.

Our worship services are energetic, joyful, and follow the ancient liturgy of the church…

Our worship services are energetic, joyful, and follow the ancient liturgy of the church (group confession and absolution, chanting the Kyrie or singing the Gloria, readings from scripture, creatively presenting the Psalms, hearing a sermon, reflecting our community and world in the prayers of the people, sharing in communion, receiving final blessings, and being sent into the world to share the love we have received.) We also sing the hymns of the church.

You will regularly hear works by Bach, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Rutter, Parker, and more. So we are steeped in tradition at Christ Lutheran, and we celebrate sharing the same liturgy of the church from 2000 years ago. But there’s also lots of innovation here! We include poetry, quotes, and images in our bulletins.

We incorporate community art and hands-on activities into worship.

Our resident liturgical artist, Mary Overstreet, designs art installations to evoke the theme of a given liturgical season. With each new Sunday and every new liturgical season, you never know what new things we will be doing to enhance our ancient worship life!

As reflected in our Welcome Statement, we are a Reconciling in Christ congregation.
