Worship

A foundation of faith for everything we do

 
For Lutherans, worship is an ever-changing and -growing experience. Connected with and central to everything we do, worship unites us in celebration, engages us in thoughtful dialogue and helps us grow in faith. It grounds us in our Christian and Lutheran roots, while demonstrating practical relevance for today’s world.

If you’ve never attended an ELCA worship service, find out what to expect in How We Worship.
