Welcome to Resurrection Lutheran Church!
We invite you to visit on a Sunday, to serve with us in the community, and to participate in the life of this church.
We are a church made up of people thankful for God's gift of Jesus Christ and who strive to follow Jesus in our daily life.
To help you get to know Resurrection a little better and to help you feel a bit more familiar and comfortable with the church, please feel free to contact the church and/or Pastor Ben, watch a couple short videos showing the life of the church, listen to a recent sermon, follow us on Facebook, receive a daily text message devotion, visit on a Sunday, or check out upcoming events.
There is place for you in the life of this church! We hope you'll join us in the life-changing mission of Sharing God's Love.

Worship
Sunday Morning Worship
9:30AM
Just a few notes about worship at Resurrection:
- We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday and all are welcome at God's table.
- We hear God's Word proclaimed through Scripture, the sermon, prayers, music, etc.
- We welcome all ages to participate in worship including babies crying, toddlers shaking tambourines, and adults singing, praying, and reflecting.
- We sing a variety of styles of music every Sunday.
- We provide a staffed nursery every Sunday.
- We provide "Spark" during the worship for kids (20 minute Bible story and activity).
Sensory Friendly Service
11:30AM
This worship service is especially created for kids and families experiencing sensory processing challenges.
The worship includes prayer, Scripture, a brief homily, and holy communion: all in a sensory friendly atmosphere. For example, the service is 25-30 minutes, the lights are dimmer, the music is softer, and worshippers are welcomed to make use of the different chairs and fidgets, to move about as needed, to try the additional sensory friendly room, and to just be themselves.
The people of Resurrection who created this worship service are the parents of children living with sensory processing challenges and are also trained professionals who work with children with autism and sensory processing challenges.
We hope this worship service communicates that we believe the sounds, behaviors, and coping techniques of our sensory friends are not a distraction at all, but are a delight to God's ears.
