Welcome to First Lutheran
We know that visiting a new church can be intimidating. We want to make your first experience as welcoming and seamless as possible.
Whether you've grown up in the church, are returning after a long time away, or are stepping through the doors for the very first time, there is a place for you here. We are excited to meet you, answer any questions you may have, and welcome you into our community.
What to Expect
Come As You Are
There is no dress code here. You will see people wearing everything from jeans and t-shirts to suits and ties. Be comfortable and be yourself.
Engaging Worship
Worship at FLC follows dependable patterns each week. At 8:30am an organ and choirs help lead the congregation, and at 10:30am music is led by a contemporary band. During the Summer season, we gather for one service at 9:00am
Holy Communion
We celebrate Holy Communion on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month. We believe this is the Lord's table, not ours, which means you are welcome to receive God's gifts here.
Kids & Family
Children in worship help us be the whole body of Christ! Old and young are part of the family, and we welcome families to worship together.
A fully staffed nursery for infants and toddlers is available if they (or you) need a break. Be sure to check out our Children's Ministry page for other faith formation opportunities.
