On July 26, a crew from Faith helped out with the Habitat for Humanity building project. Some people installed siding, and others shingled the porch roof. It was a blessed day for all, and wonderful to help the Sanford family bring their house a little closer to being finished.

Come to Faith and experience a church made up of warm and caring people.
Who are we? We are increasingly diverse: mostly Euro-American, with growing numbers of Asian, African-American and Latino members. We also come from all walks of life: young working families with kids (we love kids!), retirees, singles, teens…you name it.
What do we do? We pray together. We sing together. We work together to improve our church and our community. We find joy in our worship and in each others’ company. And we love to make new friends like YOU!
What do we believe? We believe that God created and loves all of creation -- the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God's Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life, and we trust that God's Spirit is active in the world.
How can you find out more? We’d love to see you at any of our services or events (see the upcoming events calendar). We’ll gladly show you around and answer your questions. Our building is accessible to wheelchair users.If you'd like more information before you visit--or would like us to pray for you--please don't hesitate to send us an

Holy Communion at Faith
At Faith, we celebrate Holy Communion at all Sunday worship services.
We believe and teach that the Lord's Supper is Jesus's gift to all God's baptized people, and gives us spiritual strength to bring the Good News to our neighbors and the whole world. Whoever you are in your journey of faith, and wherever you are on that journey, you are welcome at our Holy Communion table. |
Faith Lutheran's members make stained glass windows for our building. For lots of information about that, please read Hans DePold's fine book  Windows of Faith. |

Worship Schedule
While our “Traditions” + “Windows” worship services each have a different look and feel, you may experience familiar patterns, prayers and music here at Faith regardless of where you have worshipped before. We invite you to worship with us and try to welcome guests in a warm and non-intrusive way; in fact we've been expecting you!
Traditions Worship Sunday at 9:30 am (9:00 as of September 12th)
Drawing on our ancient Christian heritage, this liturgy (or work of the people) follows the traditional Lutheran worship service of Word and Sacrament and speaks with appropriate relevance for today. Chorale and hand bell choirs, solo musicians, and a variety of hymns accompa...nied primarily on our pipe organ lead the assembly in song. We follow settings from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship (ELW) book, accompanied by scripture, children’s message, sermon, with the Eucharist shared each week.
Windows to Faith Sunday at 11:15 am (11:30 as of September 12th)
Drawing on our contemporary and complex post-modern world, this worship experience sheds God’s light and love on our faith journey. Our cross-generational Praise Ensemble leads us in singing about God’s love and promises. Together we confess our brokenness, listen to ...God’s story through the Bible, listen for our stories through reflections on God’s story, share Communion at God’s table, and we leave reflecting God’s love through the windows of our lives.
Holy Communion is shared at both services, and all are welcome.

Sunday School and Faith Formation
Here at Faith we see Christian Education as a life long experience and offer Sunday School and Faith Formation for all ages. We ground all of our education in the Word of God and use a variety of modes and methods to learn about the saving love of Jesus through storytelling, bible study, videos, games, music and crafts. We address, in age-appropriate ways, real questions like these:
Are the Ten Commandments still relevant?
What does the Bible say about living in a world like today's?
Sunday School classes are offered for children age 3 though 5th grade Sunday mornings 10:30-11:15.
Youth Forums are offered for Middle School and High School students Sunday mornings 10:30-11:15.
Adult Forum is an opportunity to study and discuss the intersection of the Bible and everyday life takes place on Sunday mornings from 10:30-11:15.
Affirmation of Faith (confirmation program) is available monthly for 9th and 10th grade students. Catechetical Conversations (CC) with the Pastor meet monthly for 9th graders and Confirmed+Contributing+Communing (CCC) mentoring for 10th graders is an ongoing dialog about discipleship with an adult member of the congregation selected by students in conjunction with parents/guardian and the pastor.
Walking in Faith Wednesdays is an opportunity each week 6:30-7:30 pm to ask any questions that may have come from the previous Sunday Sermon and look ahead to the Bible texts for the following Sunday. Come experience this informal Bible Study and time of prayer to spiritually feed you mid-week. During the seasons of Advent and Lent, thematic learning and worship opportunities will be offered during this time.
All are welcome, whether you're a long-time student of the Bible, just starting to follow Jesus, or wondering what the life of faith is all about. Contact the church office if you have any questions. |
