Absolutely 100% YES. We believe that since Christ is our host and meal, his feast is open to all. If you prefer not to take communion, it is absolutely okay.  You may want to come forward for a blessing and you are welcome to do so.  If you prefer not to participate, it is absolutely okay.  God meets us where we are at.

Yes. Visitors are not expected to provide offerings.  Your presence is a gift in itself.  Every Sunday, we gather an offering of financial gifts to fund our ministry here at Christ Lutheran. This pays for mundane expenses such as power and the pastor’s salary, but also funds the important projects we do in the community, through programs such as quilting for Lutheran World Relief, participation in the winter Reach Out shelters, community outreach initiatives, and more. On the first Sunday of every month, all cash in the plate is designated towards a specific social services organization or project.

Yes! Parking is no problem. There are also designated parking spots for disabled drivers.

Yes, yes, yes to all! All are welcome in God’s house.

Good question! Lutheran Christians trace their theological heritage back to Martin Luther, the instigator of the Reformation of European Christianity back in the 16th century. Luther was an Augustinian monk who constantly worried that he could never do enough to gain God’s love and forgiveness. He read verses like Romans 3:28 and realized that we indeed can’t earn God’s love; God gives it to us anyway as a free gift, what we call grace. Lutherans today continue to emphasize God’s radical gift of grace, in which, being freed from the weight of sin, we respond in living out life in service to others.
