Welcome to New Life Lutheran!

Welcome to our Visitors! The members of New Life Lutheran welcome you as you join us in worship this morning. We are a mission driven, Christ centered, congregationally focused, and traditionally grounded gathering of Christ followers. Sacrament of the Altar (Holy Communion) We come to the table this morning at the invitation of the Lord, receiving the body and blood of Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. As such we practice an open table here at New Life Lutheran Church. Baptized Christians who share this faith and wish to join us at the table are welcome. Young children may be brought forward for a blessing. REV.
