How are we connected to Messiah Lutheran Church?

Messiah Lambs is a ministry of Messiah Lutheran Church.  Messiah Lutheran Church is dedicated to making a difference through a life-giving Messiah and as part of that mission, we strive to equip families for living Christ-centered lives in the midst of a changing world. 

The Lambs program is one element of that, but there are many other ways we may be able to help your family grow closer to God and each other.  Click here to learn more about the fellowship groups listed below as well as many others:

-         Growing Marriages in Christ (GMC) - a group aimed at couples with young children that gathers for both Bible study and fellowship.

-         Mom’s Group - focused on helping new moms, serving, and monthly fellowship events.

-         Girlfriends Unlimited - a name used for a consortium of women’s groups that gather around things like books, movies, scrapbooking, and more.  They also come together for special relaxation and spiritual retreat days.

Messiah has an active Children’s Ministry that includes Sunday School, VBS, and other events and programming all year.  Click here to find out more.
