Unity Services
Four times a year the entire HTLC community
comes together for one special unity service at 10:00 am.
Watch the Trinity Times for details!
We follow the Christian liturgical calendar beginning with Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Pentecost seasons. Members are encouraged to help with worship in a variety of ways. Reading, set up, greeters, and more all make worship possible.
Holy Communion is celebrated at most worship services. We believe the sacraments (bread and wine) are God’s gift of grace to all people for the forgiveness of their sins through Jesus Christ. Through this meal, we celebrate and dwell in the presence and mystery of the Triune God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.) All are welcome to share in Holy Communion at HTLC regardless of age, membership, or frequency of participation. We serve alcohol free and gluten-free options to include all in the sacred meal.
FAMILIES
Families are always welcome! There are high chairs in the LFC, toys in the nursery, changing tables, and we love kids in worship… yes! even when they’re noisy! The nursery is just down the hall for your little ones in worship if they need some extra room to play. You can hear the service through the sound system while they get that energy out!
WHAT DO I WEAR?
From casual to "Sunday best"... wear what feels comfortable to you!

WHAT WE BELIEVE
The ELCA confesses the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In our preaching and teaching the ELCA trusts the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.
ELCA teaching or theology serves the proclamation and ministry of this faith. It does not have an answer for all questions, not even all religious questions. Teaching or theology prepares members to be witnesses in speech and in action of God’s rich mercy in Jesus Christ.
