Find your welcome here.

God's love embraces the wide diversity of people in our community; and no matter where you are coming from, whatever your story - you are welcome here. Whether returning to faith after years away, or simply looking for a community that feels like home – First Lutheran has the worship, learning, fun, and serving opportunities to guide your faith journey. 

Worship Together

Worship is where we start and end as a community of faith in Christ. A variety of worship styles at different times throughout each week will help you engage in faith when and where you are most comfortable.

Whether you come from a traditional background, appreciating organ-led, liturgical worship, or if you prefer to sing praise with the worship band, First Lutheran offers you a worship experience to connect with God.

Grow Together

With every sermon, and every week's teaching, our own Pastors cultivate discussion guides and study questions that people can use on their own, with their families, or in small groups to deepen your understanding of the Sermons outside of worship in your personal devotions. 

 

This Fall our focus is on the Ten Commandments. Our worship study series, Love Does, will anchor our learning and will tie together with our Discovery Zone for kids lessons, Wednesday Echo Ministries, and even our Renovaré Book Study groups.

Serve & Have Fun Together

First Lutheran is an active and engaged congregation.  We have a variety of internal ministries and community partnerships that we use to spread the love of God and serve our neighbors in tangible ways. 

 

We also fully realize the spiritual renewal that comes through rest, relaxation and just having fun together! Whether it's a Bingo and Karaoke night, or a #WheresMichael High School Event, we have fun and fellowship for all ages throughout the year.
