GETHSEMANE LUTHERAN CHURCH

Grow with Gethsemane

We worship in the Lutheran tradition, following a liturgy that changes with the seasons but includes holy communion, music, scripture, teaching and prayers throughout the worship service. Pastor Sara’s passions include designing new liturgy and inserting elements of intergenerational worship and Godly Play into her teaching, preaching and leading. 

There is always something for everyone…. Including coloring sheets and an activity table at the back of the sanctuary for active hands, hearing assist devices for those who need, and accessibility options for communion as requested. All are welcome to celebrate worship and communion with the body of Christ at GLC!
