A Community of Faith

The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection is part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. It is one of the more modest sized congregations in the area. Worship is at the center of the congregation’s life. Our worship is liturgical (the work of the people) and includes the use of excellent music, both choral and instrumental. The Eucharist (Holy Communion) is celebrated weekly and there is strong lay participation in leadership of the liturgy.

The people of this congregation are committed to living into the covenant of their baptism. To this end, much attention is given to an exploration of the Christian faith tradition and its implications for the world. Christian education is provided for children and adults. While our theological lens is grounded in the biblical witness and Lutheran confessions, we are committed to explore all issues of life and faith. Engaging in theological, moral and ethical discourse is a regular part of our congregational agenda.

The Lutheran Church of the Resurrection is in a time of transition. Pastor Robert Hausman faithfully served this congregation for twenty-five years and has now retired.  I am serving as the interim pastor, charged with the responsibility of helping the congregation move into the next chapter of its life. This interim period is expected to be approximately a year in length. A period of transition is not intended to be simply a time of waiting. The expectation is that the congregation’s life and mission will continue to be strengthened.

Should you wish to learn about this congregation or receive pastoral care, contact at the church office. Please remember that you are welcome to participate in the life of this community of faith.
