Jesus was a person who saw the value of worship. In Luke 4:16,
The scriptures record, "He went to Nazareth, where he had
been brought, and on the Sabbath day,
he went into the Synagogue, as was his custom."
One of the great mysteries of humanity is when we focus our
soul on telling God how good God is, which is the essence of
praise our soul rises to the highest heaven. And like the
disciples before us, "our hearts are strangely warmed."
Come let's laugh, love, and praise him together.
FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH
We join together to hear God’s word, respond with praise, and lift up ourselves and others in prayer. In the Sanctuary, the music is mostly traditional in form, featuring an organ and often a choir, along with a myriad of other musical offerings, such as bells, orchestra, brass, and children’s choir. All for the sole purpose of bringing glory to God..
First Lutheran Online Church provides an authentic Christian community no matter where you are!
Browse our library of sermons & devotions, and share the glory of God with others. Also, don't forget you can follow us on FACEBOOK Live.

Our Contemporary Worship in the NEW Celebration Center brings together modern music, multi-generational participation, and a love for praising our Lord. Each service is relaxed and heartfelt. Worship is lead by our praise band, and at the close of every worship, all the children are invited forward to sing and play along.

Wednesday Fellowship
Learn MoreWednesday Fellowship
Wednesday Fellowship has been a hallmark FLC Senior Ministry for nearly 50 years. Every Wednesday, 40 to 60 seniors gather for devotions and hymns, led by a member of the pastoral team and followed by a delicious luncheon served by FLC volunteers. Many also come early to enjoy a 30-minute organ recital by Michael Olson, Minister of Music. Several stop by the parish nurse office to have their blood pressure checked and/or health-related questions addressed.
Organ Recitals
