The traditional worship service at Faith focuses on God.
It is characterized by Biblical preaching, spirited singing led primarily by our Holtkamp pipe organ, and
the weekly celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
We believe that the body and blood of our Lord Jesus are truly present in and with the bread and wine of
the Lord's Supper; our Communion table is open to baptized Christians who wish to receive the grace that God provides through
the real presence of our Lord in this sacrament.
Our worship is supplemented by the vocal ensembles
and string, brass, and woodwind instruments. The sermons seek to challenge, uplift, and encourage you as
you encounter God’s Word, helping you to grow in your relationship with God.
The order of service follows the traditional outline
of the services in the Lutheran Book of Worship and Evangelical Lutheran Worship. If you are familiar with
standard liturgical worship, you will immediately feel at home in this service. If liturgical worship is
new to you, you will find the service easy to follow; the service, including the service music, is printed out entirely.
The style of music is a rich blend of traditional and
newer hymnody. Our emphasis is on a hymn’s singability.
Our worship follows the seasons of the church year: Advent,
Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost. Scripture readings, hymns, prayers, and the sermon reflect
the season.
This service is attended by people of all ages. Many
of the attendees dress in business attire. However, more casual attire, including jeans, is also quite
common.
If you choose to attend the Faith traditional service, the
service is held each Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
