"Remove Christ from the Scriptures and there is nothing left."
- Martin Luther.
We structure ministries that communicate God’s love in a way that is appropriate to each age group. Children are a gift from God and have an important and vital place in our ministry. We are committed to strengthening inter-generational relationships of children, parents, and grandparents.
We are located at 500 Cedar Circle Drive in Lake Saint Louis, Missouri, overlooking I-64. The easiest way to get to us is off of Civic Center Drive on the north side of I-64. Turn into the Cedar Lakes Apartment complex (Cedar Ridge Drive). At the stop sign, turn right, and we will be on the right side of the road.
We offer three worship services in person. We gather on Saturdays at 5:00pm and Sundays at both 8:00 am and 10:30am.
If you are coming to worship, we recommend parking on the upper lot and coming in the front entrance to the building. If you are needing to come to the church office, the preschool, or for a meeting, we recommend parking on the lower lot and coming in the lower entrance.
YES! We have something for every age group. We offer nursery care for babies to age 3, Sunday School and Children's Church for kids up to 3rd grade. Merge is our 4th and 5th grade group that meets monthly for fun events. We also have a youth group, confirmation classes and more for our young people in 6th to 12th grade.
Congratulation on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
Living Lord Lutheran Church is the spiritual center for many people from many walks of life. This includes people who are preparing for marriage or who have recently married.
Our congregation has served hundreds of couples throughout the marriage preparation process with our pastors, the coordination of the wedding day, and Christian discipleship as a married couple. As a result, many families have had their wedding at Living Lord and are now raising their families in our faith community.
We would love to talk with you and see if a wedding at Living Lord is a good match for your Christian discipleship. So please give our office a call to discuss the possibility of a wedding at Living Lord.
With a splash of water, the faith community celebrates God’s gift of baptism. Baptism at Living Lord is for folks of all ages-- the smallest of babies, children and teenagers, and adults who have yet to be baptized.
Living Lord understands baptism not as an individual “guarantee” of salvation (though it relates to eternally tying us to God). Instead, it’s viewed as a sign of grace and faith within a worshiping community – where one belongs and regularly participates.
Baptisms are celebrated on different Sundays throughout the year at morning services (8 and 10:30 a.m.). Baptisms can also occur on several 5 p.m. Saturday evening services.
As a member of the ELCA, our services tend to follow the liturgy. Each service does have its own feel with a variety of music options to suit most people's tastes. We do celebrate communion together at all of our weekend worship services.
Everyone is welcome! We welcome all people who believe Christ is truly present in the elements to join us at the Lord's Table.
Yes you can! We have a devoted group of people who take communion to homes each week, and we would love to add you to those who are receiving communion at home.
When someone dies, the church shares the grief of those who mourn. In a funeral or a memorial service, we give voice to our sorry, thank God for our loved one, and entrust this person to the care and keeping of God.
In a funeral service, we celebrate the value of the life that God has given us and reaffirm our trust in God’s promise received in baptism: we are claimed by Christ forever. Scripture, prayers, songs, and words express the hopes and fears of grieving hearts.
Living Lord often is called upon to host visitations and funeral arrangements. To arrange a funeral, please contact the church office for more information. Those who are an active part of our faith community may wish to consider making advance arrangements for a memorial or funeral service with a thoughtful selection of hymns and scripture. Contact a pastor to express your wishes.
