Frequently Asked Questions
What if I haven’t been to
church in a long time or never have been to a church? Come
on in and give us a try…more importantly, connect with the One
who gave himself for YOU. “For God so loved the world that he
gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall
not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son
into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world
through him”. (John 3:16-17).
What if I am not Lutheran?
That’s fine. Come and learn what we are about. For more
information, visit the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church website

May I participate in Holy
Communion? Our Lord Jesus Christ comes to us in a special
way in Holy Communion. As Lutheran Christians, we simply
believe what God’s Word says – that Jesus’ Body and Blood are
in, with, and under the elements of bread and wine in order to
bestow forgiveness of sins on all believers, and with it ,
life and salvation. Baptized Christians who share this belief
and understanding are invited to join us in the Lord’s Supper.
