Ministries

Lutheran Women’s Missionary League (LWML meets on the 2nd Monday of each month @ 12:30 p.m. in the Fellowship Hall for Bible study, fellowship, and planning for missions projects, both locally and internationally. In-depth morning and evening Bible studies, specifically for women of all ages, usually video-based, are held in the fall, winter, and spring. 

Wednesdays @ ONE-EIGHTY Our youth ministry invites Junior and senior high students to gather in the Family Life Center for fellowship, Bible study, and supper each Wednesday during the school year. Students from all school districts are welcome. Students at the Hot Springs Junior Academy and the High School are picked up following early dismissal on Wednesdays at 2:15 p.m. in our church van.
Confirmation Classes – Students meet on Sunday mornings at 10:00-10:45 a.m.  to learn the basic teachings of Christianity and the Lutheran faith. 

 Our purpose for Children’s Ministry is to lead children of all ages to Jesus, as well as help parents in their responsibility to nurture their children’s faith and keep it growing. We offer Kids Church classes during both our 8:30 and 11:00 a.m. worship services each Sunday. Children stay in the worship service with their parents until the sermon begins. We sponsor special fun events for children throughout the year and we host a 5-day Vacation Bible School each summer. 

The purpose of FLJW is to minister the Gospel through various styles of visual interpretation including liturgical and spiritual dance. Children are are invited to join this team! Their vision is to develop strong worshipers who will minister to others using the art of dance to express the feelings and emotions of God with purpose. They practice weekly and perform in our worship services several times a year. 

The worship choir sings anthems several times each month at the 8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship service. The choir practices each Sunday morning at 7:45 a.m. in the church sanctuary. Anyone with a love of singing with others is welcome to join the choir! 

The Touch Team ministry provides food for congregational events and funerals. They specialize in hospitality and good cooking. They also provide meals when needed for people recovering from illness and other special circumstances. 

The Altar Guild ministry takes care of preparation for Holy Communion and altar flowers, candles, and other liturgical symbols for all our worship services. 

The Prayer Shawl team knits and crochets small lap robes and blankets (most handwork is done in individual homes) to be given to people in hospice or those going through long illness. The Prayer Shawl Ministry is a way to reach out to people going through a life challenge and projects the message they are being prayed for and cared about. Each shawl becomes a physical reminder of God's healing presence.

Handbells provide additional opportunities for teaching the elements of music in a church environment.   Each member of a handbell ensemble contributes specific notes to the musical line.  A handbell ensemble is an ideal place to help members see the value of their contributions to the church as well as to reinforce this important Bible teaching.
