Worship is our joyful and grateful response to the grace and love of God shown to us in Jesus Christ. We feel that one of the strengths of our congregation is the gathering of our people for worship-a truly inter-generational gathering where all age groups are represented.
We employ a variety of traditions, resources, and music styles for worship, while seeking to be faithful to our Lutheran heritage. We are excited to be using Evangelical Lutheran Worship, a new hymnal and worship resource of the ELCA.
Our choir provides musical leadership for our worship, and special music for Sundays and festivals. We have many musically talented people who provide accompaniment for hymns and liturgies and solos for special occasions.
The people of our parish take an active role in worship, acting as greeters, ushers, lectors, assisting ministers, and communion assistants. We have a children's sermon in worship for our younger children, and many of our youth are active as servers, as well as fulfilling many of the roles in worship that our adults do.
Our congregation is welcoming, and we look forward to having you join us as together we offer our praise and thanks to God for all God's blessings.
We offer a number of opportunities to grow in knowledge, understanding, and faith.
Sunday School is offered for all ages three through adult from September through May.
Sunday School for children meets during worship, after the Children's Sermon, with the children returning to worship in time for the Eucharist. We have a great staff of dedicated teachers who help to instruct and nurture our children with the biblical stories of faith.
We offer Confirmation Classes for youth, this year it begins in September with a revised schedule-please contact the church office (574.294.3823) for more information. We also have First Communion Classes for youth and their parents each year during the season of Lent. We also offer Baptismal instruction for youth, adults, and parents; along with pre-marital counseling for couples who wish to be married at Augustana.
Please call the office for more information.
