Welcome to Advent
Advent Lutheran Church is a community rooted in worship, prayer, learning, and compassionate service. We believe faith is lived together—through gathering, caring for one another, and serving our neighbors near and far. We Invite You to worship with us on Sundays at 10:30 a.m. Our worship is joyous and musical. Come and make a joyful noise with us!
Special Worship: During the seasons of Advent (4 weeks before Christmas) and Lent (6 weeks before Easter) we have special, contemplative Wednesday evening worship with a light soup and sandwich meal beforehand.
Transforming lives through the love of Jesus Christ.
Living in love and service to God and our neighbor.
Our Prayer Guide
At Advent Lutheran Church, we believe that each believer has the sacred right to pray and to be lifted before God in love, hope, and faith. Prayer is a holy gift that connects us to God and to one another as a family of faith. Every prayer request is received with compassion and reverence, trusting that God hears and answers in His time and wisdom. We handle confidential requests with the utmost care, ensuring that all personal details shared in confidence remain protected. Maintaining respect and confidentiality is one of the ways believers keep faith with one another, reflecting Christ’s love through empathy, understanding, and faithfulness in prayer. Our prayer ministry exists to encourage, support, and uphold all who seek God’s presence—whether in joy, sorrow, or need—knowing that:“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” — Galatians 6:2 (RSV)
Ministry Engagement
Ministry Engagement at Advent Lutheran Church invites every believer to grow in faith and active discipleship by sharing time, talents, and treasures in service to God and neighbor. Through small-group–centered ministries, participants build meaningful relationships, deepen spiritual practices, and discover how their gifts strengthen both the church and the wider community.
Our engagement pathways include Mission and Outreach, Youth and Education, Grow Together, and Advent Daily—each offering practical ways to live out faith together.
