Worship at LCOP
We offer a traditional liturgical worship service and use the ELW hymnal as the core resource for our liturgies and hymns. We do change liturgies and use other settings from The Litany to settings such as Marty Haugen's "Now the Feast and Celebration" and other alternate liturgical settings to provide variety to enhance the flow of the church year seasons. Word and Music work together to proclaim the gospel each week. Holy Communion is celebrated weekly.

All members of the congregation are invited to participate in the life of the church through our committees. To join a committee please contact a member of church council to express your interest in serving. Committees thrive when we have new members with new perspectives and ideas to mix with our established programming and experienced members.
Diversity breeds creativity and vision.
