Where Can I Serve?

Jesus told us, his disciples, to make disciples of all nations. One of the most important values of Lutheran Church of the Risen Lord is our mission to the world. It begins in our own community, and spreads overseas to every nation. Lutheran Church of the Risen Lord believes that we should live out the love that Jesus showed us by serving the needs of people outside the church, as well as those inside the church. Christian living is all about being transformed by the Holy Spirit through the power of God’s Word, remembering who we belong to in our Baptism, receiving forgiveness in the Lord’s Supper, daily prayer with our Father and stepping out in faith through our stewardship of time, talent and treasures in serving God and our neighbor.  

Mission Outreach

LCRL’s Mary Madalene Class is thrilled to be part of the spreading of God’s kingdom around the world. We are active in many local and worldwide projects from buying jackets for children in the winter to providing money for a water well in Africa. We encourage all of our people to respond to God’s call for laborers, whether it means that they move to a foreign country or live and minister in our own community.
 
LCRL has also established a food pantry to help those in need in our community.  If you would like to donate money or time to this outreach, please contact the church office for more information.

Ushers

The usher team at Lutheran Church of the Risen Lord fills an important role. They are involved in directing attendees to their seats, ensuring the safety of the building during services, guiding traffic, helping visitors, answering questions, providing direction, unlocking doors, locking doors, and generally ensuring that the service can proceed problem-free. The usher team is a servant-hearted group of men and women whose ministry is integral to church life.  

Media & Technology

Using media to spread the gospel is a privilege of Lutheran Church of the Risen Lord. In an age of widespread technology, we have a stewardship to use these tools as best as possible for kingdom purposes.  

Prayer Warriors

Prayer cannot be overestimated. Prayer moves the hand of God. Lutheran Church of the Risen Lord is a body of believers dependent upon prayer, and committed to God’s sovereignty. Each Wednesday, we open our doors for prayers for our church, it’s leadership and for the community, country and world as a whole.  

Child Care

We offer wonderful child care for young children who aren’t quite ready for big church yet.  We have wonderful, loving people who love children to help care for them while you enjoy our Sunday School and Sunday Service.
