What to Expect

Upon arrival, you will be welcomed with a smile by our team of greeters. They will be happy to direct you to the sanctuary, sunday school rooms, nursery, bathrooms, or where to find some coffee.


What are the services like?

Ascension services are typically about an hour in length. Our Sunday service has a 'blended' style. We begin with 2 or 3 songs/hymns - song lyrics are projected on the screens so you can sing along and/or engage with worship however you feel most comfortable. Confession/Absolution and Scripture Readings follow, and then another song. After that, enjoy a bible-based, hope-filled message about Jesus. We then finish out the service with a confession of faith, prayers, and another song.


What about my kids?

Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me", and we love to see children in worship. Feel free to bring them in to the service with you, or we do have a nursery for the little ones (age 5 and under) if that is more comfortable for you.

We also have activity bags (on the table just outside the sanctuary doors) so kids can color and read bible stories.

After the service, there are Sunday School classes available for all ages (yes, even the adults).


Can I take communion?

We normally celebrate the Lord's Supper on the first and third Sundays of each month.

The Bible says, "Let a man examine himself...for anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself." (1 Cor. 11:28-29). Prepared communicants are baptized Christians who have repented of their sins, believe in Jesus as their personal Savior for full forgiveness of all their sins and in the Real Presence of His body and blood in the bread and wine, and intend to grow, by the power of the Holy Spirit, in a deeper walk with Jesus and His Church.

If you have questions about communion, feel free to contact Pastor Twito or talk to him about it before the service.


Can I get some coffee?

Of course! What kind of Lutheran church would we be if we didn't have coffee?
