We want you to feel comfortable here, whether you are a lifelong Christian, or used to be one, or never have been. Whether you are familiar with the contemporary style or not, we hope you find a connection with God through our various worship services.

Morning Grace Service
The Morning Grace Worship Service is most uniquely identified by its style of music. The worship service flows between music, prayer, scripture, proclamation, and eucharist as we enter together into God's presence. Although the Morning Grace Service is more formal in style, it still has the warmth of a community celebration.  Sundays: 8:30 AM.

Celebration Service
The service is designed in a Lutheran order of Word and Sacrement, but in a contemporary style. The service is led by Pastor Gabi Aelabouni and features contemporary Christian music played by our worship band. God's message is delivered through the spoken word, as well as through visual media, music and other modes that encourage everyone to be part of the service.  Sundays: 10:30 AM.

Service of the World
Our “Service of the World” is an exciting new worship service that our congregation celebrates at various times throughout the year.  These services are a chance for the congregation to learn about our sisters and brothers in different parts of the Lutheran church all over the world and to expand our vision to see the true meaning of the Body of Christ as a whole. Each service focuses on a specific country and includes unique elements from that country's region. The congregation learns more about each country and holds it in prayer. We also take a special offering that goes to support ministries in that country.

Worship at Faith is guided by our Worship and Music Mission Statment
