Who We Are
Although the Lutheran Church is among the largest of Protestant bodies, Living Word itself is a small and intimate congregation. For more than 50 years Living Word has included a special community of people brought together by God’s grace who have committed themselves to the mission of: LIVING THE WORD – SPREADING THE WORD.
We invite you to join us for worship on Sundays at 11 am!
Worship with us!
Each Sunday we gather under God’s Word of compassion and hope and around the altar celebrating the saving power of Jesus the Christ in Holy Communion. Although our worship is typically Liturgical in structure, (following the format and ancient practice of the Christian Church), our style is relaxed and informal. Worship at Living Word includes a blend of both traditional and contemporary music, and has the flavor of a big family gathered around a table to celebrate an important life event (which is pretty much what is happening!) And of course, the family would not be complete without children! There is a nursery available, but we love to have children participate and we try to make it engaging for them as well.

A Service of Leave Taking
Closing a congregation is filled with a mixture of emotions, including grief and anxiety about the future and nostalgia about what has gone before. This service is intended to be an opportunity for the congregation to offer thanks for the ministry that has happened at Epiphany, in a way that acknowledges its history as well as the pain of separation from something that has been of significant value to people’s spiritual lives. Meanwhile, gathering with people who will join the ministry of other congregations is a reminder that God’s mission continues and extends beyond our institutions.
