About Our Services
Our congregation gathers for a blended worship service each Sunday at 9:30 AM, followed by Bible Study groups for all ages at 10:45 AM.
Get Directions
We are located at 210 West Park Row Drive, Arlington, TX 76010.
Parking
We offer convenient guest parking in the west parking lot, right next to the office entrance—just look for the guest parking signs. If those spots are full, parking also surrounds the church on all sides. Handicap-accessible parking is available near the main entrance for those who need it.
Getting to the Main Entrance
Once you park in the guest lot, walk around the south corner of the building toward the main double-glass doors. This is the primary entrance to our Sanctuary.

- The main entrance is on the south side of the church.
- Park Row runs along the north side, so if you arrive from that street, you’ll head toward the opposite side of the building to enter.
Need Help?
Our greeters and ushers are ready to assist you as soon as you come through the doors.
Upon Arrival
When you arrive, you’ll be greeted warmly at the main entrance by our greeters. Our greeters are stationed at the doors and are happy to answer any questions or help you find your way.
Following Along in Worship
As you enter, our greeters will hand you a bulletin that includes an order of service—readings, hymns, responses, announcements, and anything else you need to follow along comfortably. Prefer a digital option? The bulletin is also available online each week, so you can view it on your phone or tablet if you’d like. You’ll also find Lutheran Service Books and Bibles in front of each pew if you prefer to follow along or read from a physical book during worship.
Finding Your Seat
You’re welcome to sit anywhere. If you prefer assistance, our ushers can help you find a seat, especially on busier Sundays or special services.
Facilities
Restrooms are located just outside the sanctuary on the far right—look to the left corner before the exit doors.
For Families
Children are always welcome in the service! See our Children’s section below for more information on what’s available for the kids!
If You Need Help
Anyone wearing a name tag—ushers, greeters, or staff—can point you toward restrooms, children’s areas, Bible classes, or anything else you may need.
What about the Children?
We warmly welcome children in worship and love having them with us. We know that little ones wiggle, whisper, cry, and make noise—and that’s okay. We’re glad they’re here.
To support families, we offer several helpful options:
- Children’s Bulletins & Activity Bags
At the entrances, you’ll find children’s bulletins with our greeters and a cart full of worship activity bags that include quiet activities to help kids follow along. Feel free to take them as you enter. - Comfort Room
We also provide a glass-enclosed comfort room inside the Sanctuary:
If you are facing the front of the Sanctuary, it is located on the far-left side. It has rocking chairs, toys, and audio for the service, so you can watch and listen while caring for your child. This space keeps parents close to worship while giving kids a little more room. - Nursery
A staffed nursery is available during worship and Bible studies for infants and toddlers. All staff are up to date on background checks, safety training, and CPR/First Aid training.
From the main Sanctuary doors, go to the small set of stairs on the right. The nursery is the very first door on the right. The room includes a changing table, age-appropriate toys, and a TV with the service livestream, offering a more private and comfortable space for parents and breastfeeding mothers with little ones.
During the Service
Our worship service lasts about one hour and follows a simple, meaningful order that helps us hear God’s Word and respond to Him in faith, and receive His gifts. You’ll find a blend of both traditional hymns and contemporary praise songs, all centered on Christ. If you’d like to learn more about what we believe as LCMS Lutherans—our theology, doctrine, and how we understand the Christian faith—you can visit our Beliefs page for a clear overview.
- Opening Prayer & Song
We begin by preparing our hearts in prayer and singing together to focus our attention on God. - Confession & Absolution
Together, we honestly acknowledge our sins before God and receive His forgiveness through the words of absolution spoken by the pastor. This is a moment of grace and renewal. - Sharing Grace
We take a brief moment to greet one another, recognizing the community God has brought together. - Scripture Readings
We typically use a three-year lectionary as selected by church leaders in the past. This helps us stay connected to the sacred traditions and yet allows for contemporary application. - Children’s Message*
Children are invited forward for a short, kid-friendly message that helps them understand the message theme or Scripture in a simple and meaningful way. Afterward, they return to sit with their families for the rest of the service.
*The Children’s Message takes place on the weeks when we are not celebrating Holy Communion.
- Message Song
A song that prepares our hearts to hear the message. - The Sermon
Our pastor shares a message rooted in Scripture, connecting God’s truth to our lives today. - Apostles’ Creed
We speak this ancient confession of faith together, boldly declaring what we believe. - Offering
As an act of worship, members of our church give financially to support our ministry and mission. - Holy Communion*
We generally celebrate Holy Communion on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th Sundays of each month. Those who have not communed with us before are encouraged to speak with the Pastor or an Elder before the service. Because Communion is a sacred gift, we invite everyone to take a moment for self-examination before receiving it. View the Communion Notes below for more information.
- Prayers of the Church/Lord’s Prayer
We lift up prayers for our church, community, and world. Together, we also pray the Lord’s Prayer, the prayer Jesus taught His disciples in Matthew 6:9–13. - Ways to Follow Jesus
A brief moment to share upcoming opportunities, events, and ways to get involved in the life of our church. In the front of each pew, you’ll also find a contact card—we’d love for you to fill one out and share your information, how you heard about us, and anything else you’d like us to know. This helps us follow up, pray for you, and help you take your next step with Jesus. - Benediction
The pastor speaks a blessing from Scripture as God sends us into the week with His peace. - Sending Song
We end by singing together and going out joyfully to serve and follow Christ in our everyday lives.
Communion Notes
These questions reflect what Scripture teaches about coming to the Lord’s Table:
- Do I believe that I am a sinner, and am I truly sorry for my sins?
- Do I believe that Jesus is my Savior and that through faith in Him my sins are forgiven?
- Do I believe that in this meal I receive the true Body and Blood of Jesus—not just a symbol—for the forgiveness of my sins?
- Do I intend, with God’s help, to live a Christian life?
If you can answer “yes” to these questions and share this faith with us, you are welcome to receive Communion.
Those who have not communed with us before are encouraged to speak with the Pastor or an Elder before the service. If you’re not ready to participate, you are still invited to come forward during Communion. Simply cross your arms over your chest to receive a blessing.
Special Communion Notes
- A traveling tray is available for those who prefer to receive Communion at their seat.
- Gluten-free wafers are available.
- Grape juice is provided on the inner ring of each tray.
After the Service
We’d love for you to stay a little while after worship! As you exit the Sanctuary, you’ll find coffee and donuts available in the Narthex. It’s a relaxed space to meet people, enjoy conversation, and connect with our church family.
Stick Around & Say Hello
Feel free to stay and chat, ask questions, or introduce yourself to our pastor or members. We’re always glad to get to know you.
Bible Classes for All Ages
From the end of the service until 11:45 AM, we offer Bible classes for adults, youth, and children. These classes are a great way to grow in faith, build relationships, and dig deeper into God’s Word. You can explore all current offerings on our Bible Classes page.
Beyond Sunday
Our time together doesn’t end on Sunday mornings—there are events, activities, and volunteer opportunities happening throughout the week for everybody. To see what’s coming up and how you can get involved, visit our Events & Activities page.
Explore Grace Seminar
If you’re interested in learning more about our church—its story, our beliefs, and what it means to be part of our community—we regularly offer an Explore Grace seminar. Led by our pastor, this class provides a welcoming space to ask questions, learn, and meet others who are new or considering membership.
