 Connections
First Lutheran Church is EXCITED to offer our NEW ministry on Wednesday evenings which replaces Sunday morning education. During this time we will have opportunities for children, youth and adults in drama/arts, education, music and fellowship.
|
 Milestone Ministry
Milestone Ministry is any meaningful memorable moment woven into our faith journey. It is a way for us to celebrate the promises made in baptism, provide learning opportunities for families, and recommit ourselves as a congregation to nurture one another as the body of Christ as we mark “milestones”.

 Bible School and Camp
Summertime holds two wonderful opportunities for children and youth to grow in faith. Vacation Bible School is a week of fun and activities where children learn of God’s love for them in Jesus Christ. Outdoor ministry at Luther Park Bible Camp offers an experience where faith is nurtured through “holy play.” From a day-long camp for young children to a week-long camp for senior high youth, outdoor ministry enlivens faith and develops Christian relationships.
|
 Confirmation
Our mission is to teach God's Word and Luther's Small Catechism in such a way that young people will be drawn into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
|
|
 Music, Worship, and Arts
Worship is the heartbeat of First Lutheran Church. The congregation has an array of choral, instrumental, drama, and multimedia groups for persons of all ages. These groups lead the congregation in worship and praise of God.
|
 Youth Group
Through fun, study, service and worship, the youth of First Lutheran are encouraged to be disciples who follow Jesus in every part of their lives. Three youth groups, arranged by age and directed by staff and volunteer adults, steep young people in Jesus Christ.

 Parish Nurse
First Lutheran is blessed to have a full-time parish nurse as a member of the staff. The parish nurse gives leadership to the healing ministry of the congregation that traces its roots to the healing ministry of Jesus.
|
 Adult Education and Library
While the Sunday adult education hour is a main setting for Bible study and Christian education that applies faith to life, there are a variety of education opportunities available and aa well as a library of resources.
|
|
 Multimedia
Multimedia capabilities in the sanctuary allow for the projection of words, video and pictures that enhance our worship. Worship is videotaped for television broadcast.
|
 Prayer
God invites us to place all of our cares and burdens, hopes and joys, before the Lord in prayer. Two prayer groups are actively engaged in conversation with God and numerous devotional resources are available to assist with individual and family meditation.
|
|
 Deacons
Deacons volunteer as lay assistants to bring Holy Communion to those who are unable to come to worship. The Deacon Ministry not only offers the Sacrament to the homebound and infirmed, but also provides a person-to-person contact with those who are often isolated and alone.
|
 Fellowship
Many ministries of First Lutheran provide occasions for developing relationships as participants study, serve, and pray.
