Why are you here?
Not the place you are reading this; why are you here, on earth?
Why did God, if there is such a thing, place you here?
What’s the meaning of life; what’s your purpose in life?
What will happen to you when you die?
What’s it all about?
Are you tired, discouraged, worn out, running on empty,
wondering what the point of all this really is?
Do you want more out of life:
More joy, fulfillment, love?
Are you looking for answers?
For meaning and purpose?
Then we’ve got the greatest Good News to share with you!
Check us out.
We’re Faith Lutheran Church, a family of faith;
here to support and encourage one another in God’s love,
and to share the love of Jesus Christ with the world. |

Welcome in the name of Jesus! Faith Lutheran Church in East Hartford is a vibrant community of faith gathered by God and led by the Holy Spirit to proclaim Christ’s redeeming love to all. We gather each Sunday in worship to be fed for mission and ministry opportunities throughout the week.
Worship is the central window to faith for our community and follows ancient patterns in two distinct worship experiences. We experience windows to faith opening as…
-
The Holy Spirit gathers us together as the people of God;
-
God speaks to us through the Word in scripture reading, preaching, and song;
-
God feeds us with the presence of Jesus Christ in the Communion Meal;
-
And God blesses us and sends us out in mission to the world.
Our "Traditions" service follows a traditional liturgy from the Evangelical Lutheran Worship book, and includes a children’s message and preached sermon. Our "Windows to Faith" service follows a casual worship format featuring our cross-generational praise ensemble, and includes reflections on the intersection of God’s Word and our lives.
On behalf of the people of Faith, I invite you to call, e-mail, visit us in person or on-line, and worship with us. We try to welcome guests in a warm and non-intrusive way; in fact we've been expecting you!
Peace+

 On September 21, 2008 Faith dedicated our new Welcome Center that features a lift for interior multi-level accessibility and new unisex restroom. This project was the result of dreaming, planning and giving. Thank you for your support and patience over several years that enabled the realization of this vision for our church.

Lutheran Worship: Our Service of Holy Communion
Introduction & Background
In our Lutheran Christian tradition, we, Jesus's church, are defined by our worship.
This does not mean that all worshiping assemblies do the same things in the same way. Even so, worship is fundamental to our Christian and Lutheran identity. In worship, we encounter God’s mission to the world, centered in Jesus Christ. Jesus is the living and abiding Word of God proclaimed in the scriptures.
This explanation of our worship is focused around the familiar four-fold pattern of Gathering, Word, Meal, and Sending.
