Welcome!
We're glad you're here. Whether this is your first time in a church, your first time in a long while, or just your first time with us, you are welcome at River of Life.

You don’t need to know what to say or when to stand. You certainly don’t need to have everything figured out. Come as you are.

What to Expect in Worship

Our worship is rooted in the historic Lutheran liturgy and centered on Jesus Christ. Each service includes Scripture readings, prayer, preaching, music, and Holy Communion.

The tone is reverent but warm, and you’ll find both familiar hymns and newer songs. Everything is explained along the way, and no one is expected to participate beyond their comfort level.

What Should I Wear?

You’ll see everything from jeans to business casual. There’s no dress code here — we care more that you’re present than how you’re dressed.

Will I Be Singled Out?

No.

You won’t be asked to stand, introduce yourself, or do anything that makes you uncomfortable. If you’d like to talk with someone or ask questions, we’re happy to connect — and if you’d rather come and go quietly, that’s perfectly fine too.

Communion

We celebrate the Lord's Supper each week as a gift of God’s grace.

If you have questions about Communion or would like to talk with a worship leader, you are always welcome to do so. If you prefer not to receive Communion, you may remain seated or come forward for a blessing. 

Children and Families

Children are absolutely welcome in worship.

We are actively building children’s and youth ministries, including Wednesday programming, and we believe nurturing faith in young people is a vital part of our life together.
