Worship at Central Lutheran Church

There's nothing remarkable about the community at Central Lutheran on Sunday mornings. Chances are we look a lot like you. We share your struggles. We have joy and pain, hope and longing, deep wounds and great gifts.

Like you, the Central community is called by God to gather, to come out of the world's isolation and bring our whole selves - warts and all - into the presence of God and one another. Together we sing and pray, we read scripture and proclaim the good news, we share stories and silence, listening together for God's word.

We come to a common table, sharing a meal of bread and wine that is an hors d'oeuvre for the future feast where everyone is welcome and everyone has enough. Then, with lives turned upside down and inside out, God sends us back into the world to teach, heal, love, challenge, and renew the world.

Worship at Central is neither traditional (1950's style) nor contemporary (1980's style), but rather is post-traditional. We draw on the most ancient roots of Christian tradition and place them in the context of a global, multi-traditional, post-modern community. Chances are you will experience something familiar and something new (or re-newed) every Sunday.

This is the weekly miracle of worship. No fireworks, no razzle-dazzle, just ordinary people following Jesus on a discipleship journey. And you have a place here! You have a seat at the table, a word to speak, a mission to share. You have gifts and skills to enliven
