Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church and Preschool

La Grange, TX 

Worship Style

 

Mt. Calvary Lutheran Church is a liturgical (a liturgy is simply a set form of ceremony, or pattern we use during our worship service on a regular basis) and confessional congregation of the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God, and that its teaching focuses on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ who has won our salvation.  Our worship services are traditional and reverent and Christ centered.  We use the Lutheran Service Book as a guide during the worship service.

 

We believe that when we worship, God is indeed with us, in His Word and in His Sacraments.  We believe that when we gather together, it is not merely to pay tribute to a distant Creator, but rather, we gather so that God can bestow upon us the gifts He has reserved for His people, through the preaching of His Word and the administration of the Sacraments. 

 

Our worship services always include music, ranging from traditional and familiar hymns, to more contemporary praise songs. 

 

On fifth Sundays, the service is a bit different than our usual traditional liturgical style; instead a contemporary songfest is presented by the LYF and Contemporary Singers.

 

The Lord's Supper is joyfully offered on the first and third Sundays of the month, and visiting members in good standing with the Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod are encouraged to commune.  For those not in our fellowship but desiring to commune, we respectfully ask that you meet with the Pastor before communing.
