We rejoice to celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday and Wednesday, as well as on other festivals throughout the year. In this Sacrament, our Lord Jesus Christ comes to us under the forms of bread and wine to give us His very Body and Blood for the forgiveness of our sins and the strengthening of our faith (1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

We also rejoice in the Church’s historic practice of Closed Communion. As we celebrate the Lord’s Supper, we give public confession to our unity in the Christian faith (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). Accordingly, we welcome visitors to commune with us if they are a member in good standing of a sister LCMS congregation.

While this practice may seem unusual and even offensive to some, it is nevertheless motivated by love and the care of souls. It is also in accordance with Holy Scripture and the example of the faithful Christian Church from ancient times. As our pastors seek to faithfully steward this Sacrament, all visitors are kindly asked to speak with a pastor before approaching the altar for the first time. Children and adults who are not eligible for the Holy Communion may approach the altar with their arms crossed, placing both hands on their shoulders, to indicate they would like to receive a blessing.

Yes. If you are traveling or unable to join us in person, our Sunday 9:00 a.m. Divine Service is live-streamed on Facebook. Simply visit this link and scroll down a bit until you see the service which goes “live” each Sunday just before 9:00 a.m. Special services, especially on hoildays, are also live-streamed. 

We want everyone to be able to join us comfortably. If you or a loved one require assistance with stairs or mobility, we have dedicated accommodations ready:

Handicap Parking: Dedicated spaces are located off West Street, directly behind the church sanctuary.

Lift Elevator: From the West Street entrance, a lift elevator is available to provide direct, seamless access into the church sanctuary.

Chair Lift: For semi-mobile individuals who just need a little extra help navigating the stairs inside, a motorized chair lift is also available.

If you need help using either lift, simply ask any usher or member upon arrival - they will be happy to assist you!
 

Our main parking lots are located on Meadow Street and Kelley Street, with plenty of space available next to and behind the gymnasium.
To enter the church lobby, you have two great options depending on where you park:

The Meadow Street Entrance: Walk up to the main doors by the flagpole on Meadow Street.

The Rear Lobby Entrance: If you park behind the church, you can use the convenient alley-style entrance at the back of the building.
Both entrances lead into the exact same main lobby. 

Whichever door you choose, an usher will be there to greet you, answer any questions, and hand you a printed bulletin to guide you through the service.
