Welcome to this beautiful part of Arizona!

Are you looking to connect with the community, develop new friendships and continue on your faith journey? Christ the Lord Lutheran Church could be just the place for you!

Our beautiful, comfortable, friendly neighborhood church welcomes you – just as you are. Each 9:00AM Sunday service offers inspirational music and thought-provoking messages. Communion is open to everyone. Afterward, you can enjoy a wide variety of homemade treats, soda, coffee and tea. We also stream our services live or you can watch us later online at your convenience at www.ctlcarefree.org

We strive to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ, serving those in need throughout the area and even around the world. Join us in supporting the local food bank, services for veterans and the elderly, literacy programs for children and the relocation of displaced and unsheltered individuals and families. Learn about our joyous sister-parish in Tanzania, where we help children go to school, improve access to clean water and bolster worship buildings.

We’re an active church, offering you many ways to grow your relationship with God and your neighbors. Stroll along our rejuvenating labyrinth, open all day to anyone seeking a peaceful pause. Try out a “First Friday” evenings where we share wine and treats while telling stories, singing songs and playing games. You might like to see classic films on Friday movie nights and enjoy nostalgic snacks. Then there’s a hiking club, Bible study classes, and casual men’s and ladies’ lunches at fun local restaurants. And if you are musically inclined, you could participate in the chorale, bell choirs, or vocal and instrumental solos. You don’t really need special skills; we’ll help you learn.

Check out our website or call us to find out more. Let us know if you’d like to receive our weekly newsletter via email. We hope to see you soon. Our church family will welcome you with open arms!

Sincerely,

Pastor Anna Rieke

A Place To Belong
