Plan a Visit to Christ the Lord Lutheran Church

Lutherans have a rich tradition of worship that is well-ordered, scripture based and accented with excellent music — the liturgy. Our Traditional Service offers an opportunity to worship God and experience God’s grace in that liturgical tradition.

At CtL, you will experience a friendly community, a relevant message, and a sense of God’s presence in Word and Meal. The Meal — Holy Communion — is offered openly to all who come to worship at CtL.

What Should I Wear?

Our attendees come in everything from shorts and flip flops to dresses and slacks – so come in whatever you’re comfortable wearing! We’re just excited for you to join us! We’re confident that you’ll fit in no matter how you dress.

We want you to feel welcome at Christ the Lord Lutheran Church. It is only natural that you might not want to stand out in any way while you are checking things out for yourself. Therefore, we won’t ask you to stand, raise your hand, introduce yourself, etc. We do hope you won’t mind if some people at the church smile and say hello.

As our guest, we do not expect any money from you. We will have an offering during the service, but we encourage you to let the baskets pass you by. The offering is a way for the Christ the Lord Lutheran Church family to respond to God and join the mission of the church through their giving. If you’re new, we don’t expect you to give. Our service is a gift to you.

If you do consider Christ the Lord Lutheran Church your church home, we’d love for you to prayerfully consider regular giving. You can give by check or cash at weekend services or any time during the week when you’re on campus, or you can set up an online giving account on https://ctlcarefree.org/giving/.
