We are a liturgical church. Liturgy, the framework of our services, literally means "the work of the people." We do not gather to be trained or entertained, we gather to work together in worship and praise of the creator of all that is and ever will be until the end of time.
Now is our time and our worship strives be relevant to people who live now, who work now, who pray now, and worship now in the name of the living Lord.
Here are some of the meaningful life-enhancing spiritual worship opportunities our congregation shares:
SUNDAY CELEBRATIONS - BAPTISM FOR INFANTS, YOUTH AND, ADULTS - CONFIRMATION / AFFIRMATION / CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
LIFETIME RITES OF PASSAGE - BLESSING OF A RESIDENCE - WEDDINGS / HOLY UNIONS / COMMITMENT CEREMONIES
Members and friends of Abiding Savior Church gather each Sunday morning for worship that respects the liturgical tradition of the Lutheran Church while speaking through worship and the arts in contemporary acts and language that enable the gathered people to experience Jesus in the midst of their lives, to express their hopes, dreams, hurts, and fears, and to depart with a clear sense of purpose to serve others as God has served them.

BAPTISM FOR INFANTS, YOUTH, AND ADULTS
Baptism is the rite of initiation into the Church. In and through the waters of Holy Baptism God acts to claim the people of God by the power of God's own Word and the presence of God's own Spirit. Abiding Savior Church invites all who have not been baptized to share in this special gift of God's own good grace. Return to top.
CONFIRMATION / AFFIRMATION / CHURCH MEMBERSHIP
Christians who have been baptized become a member of a congregation through a rite called Affirmation of Baptism. This rite is appropriate for young adults and older persons who make the responsible decision on their own to become an active, supporting minister of a congregation. Return to top.
The changes and chances of life often leave us seeking advice, comfort, support, encouragement, and care. The church provides opportunities for individuals and groups or families to gather within the context of a Christian community during important times in our lives for care-full worship and prayer.

WEDDINGS / HOLY UNIONS / COMMITMENT CEREMONIES
When people find they share a commitment and union that unites them in powerful, spiritual ways, it is only natural that they seek the blessing of the church upon that relationship. The ministry of the church is to provide caring, meaningful encouragement and support to those who seek to recognize that God has blessed them with partners who share a common commitment to an enduring relationship.

Home should be a safe place where one can find oneself and the presence of the Lord. When you move into a new home, discover the peace and joy that the blessing of your new home can bring. Return to top.
People of faith gather to celebrate the gift of life. Abiding Savior Church and the Ruth Clark Memorial Garden provide lasting opportunities to mark the passing of a loved one and a faith-centered gathering point to remember their gifts. Return to top.
