About Our Sunday Worship Services
An average of 1100 people worship at Nazareth each week. We offer three different services, each with its own unique style of worship. Check out one service or all three; we're confident one of them will be the kind of worship that feels right to you - worship that helps you connect with the people, the message, and God.
8:30 a.m. - Traditional
We call this one our traditional service because it uses traditional elements - for example, the Kyrie, Gospel Acclamation, Responsorial Psalms, Apostles' Creed - from Lutheran liturgy. Familiar hymns are played on the organ. If you feel at home in a liturgical church setting, you'll appreciate this service. Communion is offered the first Sunday of every month.
9:50 a.m. - Blended
What did we blend? Some elements from the traditional liturgy (Apostles' Creed, Confession & Absolution, Lord's Prayer) and some elements from contemporary worship (praise songs led by a piano-driven worship ensemble). This is a good service for those who like a reflective, less formal approach to worship. Communion is offered weekly at this service.
11:10 a.m. - Contemporary
Here we bump up the energy level with a Worship Band that leads the congregation in contemporary praise music. You'll see video presentations, powerpoint slide shows, and testimonials. The teachers include Nazareth pastors, Nazareth staff members, and members of the congregation, and all of them present God's Word with clarity and passion. This service welcomes seekers of all ages. Communion is offered the first Sunday of every month.
