About Holy Communion:
Holy Communion is also called the Lord's Supper or the Eucharist (Greek for "thanksgiving"); in this holy meal we take the bread and wine and receive, in, with, and under these elements, the very body and blood of the Jesus Christ. According to Jesus' own words the forgiveness of our sins is freely given because of the blood he shed on the cross. In communing together we demonstrate our Christian unity found in Christ and in our confession of faith. If you visit on a Sunday where Communion is celebrated, and you are a member of a Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod congregation or this is also your confession, please speak with the Pastor before communing. If it is not your confession you may still receive a blessing.
Holy Communion is generally celebrated on the Second and Fourth Sundays of the Month and on special church holidays.
Worship: Sundays at 10:00 a.m.
Bible Study and Sunday School at 9:00 a.m. September-May
What is Worship?
Why do we worship?
How do we worship?
As we worship we receive God's gifts of forgiveness through his spoken Word and the Sacrament of Baptism and the Lord's Supper. This service is performed by the Lord and this is why our worship service is called the Divine Service. It is historic, traditional, and liturgical as we respond with thankful praise using Scripture, singing, and prayer in holy conversation with God. Children are welcomed and invited to participate in worship.

What is Discipleship?
Discipleship is the lifelong path of faith. We become disciples through Holy Baptism as we receive the gifts of Holy Spirit in faith and salvation. As disciples we seek to follow our Lord and learn from him. We do this as we participate in weekly worship, in studying the Bible with each other, and in personal devotion and prayer.
The purpose of discipleship is not salvation. We are saved in the forgiveness of sins received and believed in proclamation of the Word and the Sacraments. As we are discipled, as the Holy Spirit works in us as we worship and study, he works through us in the world. As a disciple of Christ we seek to live holy and joyful lives, sharing this joy through our living, our actions, and our speech.
Please use the resources below to help guide you in your own prayers and devotions, that you may be formed to the likeness of our Savior.
Quarterly Memory Verse:
Galatians 6:9 (ESV):
And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

What is the Book of Concord and why should I care?
The Book of Concord is a compilation of documents that are the true exposition or explanation of Holy Scripture. These documents were first compiled in 1580 and do not replace Scripture; instead, they explain what it is we believe Scripture teaches.
We still study the Book of Concord today because the errors these writings teach against are still with us today, and because knowing what it is we teach and confess holds pastors and congregations to account for what is taught and preached.
