Abiding Peace Lutheran Church makes Christ known by welcoming all people to a supportive and accepting place to grow in faith and community, and to serve the Lord as people created by God, saved by Christ, and nurtured by the Holy Spirit. We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, committed to the full inclusion and celebration of people of all sexualities, genders, and gender expressions, and to the work of racial equity.

In-person & live-streaming worship

Although our sanctuary is open for in-person worship (masks optional), our worship services also continue to be live-streamed via the link below (linked service is the most recent, others can be accessed from the church FB page).
