What to Expect

What are services like?
Our three services give you a choice of styles. At our 8:15 service you will find wonderful music blending traditional Hymns and a classical style. Our 11:00 service is led by our worship band. They bring uplifting praise songs in a more contemporary style. You are welcome to come as you are to either of our services. On the second and fourth Sundays of each month we have a South Sudanese Nuer language service. This is a worship service spoken in both Nuer and English, with traditional African worship music.

What is the community like?
We are an active congregation of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. We believe in the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the authority of Scripture. We agree with Martin Luther, who taught that our salvation comes from "grace alone, faith alone, and scripture alone (see our beliefs and teachings)". We believe you'll find King of Kings to be a warm, caring congregation of God's people committed to Biblical, Christ-centered ministry. We hope you'll join with us as we seek to know Christ and to make Him known.

What if I'm not a Christian?
While King of Kings Lutheran Church is a Lutheran Church of the Missouri Synod, we are open to all people seeking to grow in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Being Lutheran isn't nearly as important as simply having a heart to seek Christ. If you want to learn more about Christianity and the Lutheran doctrine, we have a new member class just for this. But it’s certainly not a requirement for attending.
