Worship
There's a place for everyone at Our Savior to be involved and make new friends through small group ministries, fellowship events, and committees for the congregation's life and mission. Membership is voluntary and personal.
Persons join when they express the desire to affiliate. Adults may join formally the congregation by either a letter of membership transfer from another Christian congregation or by adult Confirmation.
The sacrament of Holy Communion is celebrated with this understanding: that the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ are truly present in, with, and under the bread and wine; and, that the penitent receive the full forgiveness of all their sins. All baptized Christians who, in good conscience, can receive with this understanding are invited to partake.
Baptisms and weddings are conducted as needed. A church wedding requires a couple to spend a period of time preparing for marriage in consultation with the pastor.
An elevator and access ramp are available for entering and exiting the building. Refreshments are usually served after worship on Sunday. In warmer weather, the church is air-conditioned for your comfort.

The Church Council has adopted a new policy about wearing masks.
For all activities in the church building, masks will be recommended, but not required.
We understand that this may affect you one way or another. Some will be happy to see the masking mandate dropped as health concerns and following protocols have led to wanting to be able to not wear a mask in public. However, some with other health concerns and anxiety/general worry may be concerned about their own health.
We encourage people to make the best decisions they can given their own knowledge /concerns. We continue to encourage safe health protocols in addition to masking:
1. Individual small groupings of people (i.e. committee meetings) may decide on their own to enforce the masking policy as a collective whole.
2. Hybrid meetings (online option) will still be an option groups can use.
