A food & fellowship time follows the service. Sunday worship is a traditional Lutheran service with Communtion offered each week. Both services are online.
Building positive relationships A church is not a building. It is people coming together to worship and serve God. We believe in building relation-ships, helping our members connect with God and with each other. You can connect with us here and with our latest Facebook and YouTube posts,
