Your Sunday Experience
Sunday mornings are designed to provide an experience of the sacred using language, stories, reflections, experiences, and music that are grounded in traditional Lutheran piety while being accessible and relevant. Weekly services follow seasonal themes while our Festival Sundays weave spiritual insights into cultural celebrations to add deeper levels of meaning to the holidays we all love and enjoy. All of these experiences are a way we give expression to our Identity Statement.

We design each of our gatherings on Sunday morning to reflect traditional Lutheran piety with a focus on the life and teachings of Jesus as well as exploring language that makes sense for today. We offer a seasonal approach that provides variety throughout the year.
Music is led by organ or piano. Songs are selected from the Lutheran hymnal and a variety of additional sources including spirituals, gospel, and global music.

After Party Bible Study
On Sundays, following Worship and Fellowship Time, grab a little extra coffee and join Pastor Ned in Oakview 3 for a short (ends by 11:45) Bible Study. We will be doing a "deeper dive" into the Scripture we just heard in morning worship - exploring a bit of the background of the reading and discussing how it may relate to us in our world today. We look forward to seeing you there!
