Worship and grow with us

Our risen Christ said “Go.” So, we go to learn, we go to serve, we go to teach, we go be people of new life. And as you go, know that God goes with you, now and always. Go, serve the world with resurrection power. Thanks be to God. Gather with this Sunday.
10:45 a.m. Worship service
11:45 a.m. Fellowship and coffee
We gather in faith that there is Enough for Everyone. In worship and community, we seek to grow in love for God and for our neighbor. We trust that we are called and transformed to create a world of abundance.

This faith community is committed to genuine, inclusive welcome. Our siblings of all sexual orientations, gender identities and gender expressions are welcomed and embraced here. And we continue our commitment to work for racial equity, firmly grounded in the belief that everyone is a beloved child of God.

In the months ahead, we’ll be collecting:

- Diapers in sizes 3, 4, and 5, open boxes welcome, in June

Church together

Picture
"When Lake Nokomis Lutheran Church called me as senior pastor in the fall of 2020, New Branches was already blooming." The Minneapolis Synod released a story about New Branches, among the many gratitudes, joys, decisions, and challenges navigated together, it's good to see a celebration of the New Branches partnership in this way." - Pastor Sara Read the story.

Covid safety practices

Picture
There's a masking policy change for our faith community. Masks are welcome, but optional during worship—please continue to mask in all common areas.

​
Lake Nokomis Lutheran is the only church that will change their masking policy starting Sunday, January 29. This applies inside the Large Sanctuary. There's no change to the common space policy—mask until you're inside the Large Sanctuary and before leaving the Large Sanctuary.
