SPECIAL NOTE:
We have retained on our website information about Augustana's worship, Sunday School, Outreach, and more, from before the pandemic. This information may be helpful to those visiting our website to learn more about how Augustana did activities in the past. When we move to reopen, we will update our website to include any new ways of conducting these activities in person.
Sunday Worship at 9:30 am
Communion is served weekly.
Personal amplifiers are available for those with hearing impairments. Just ask an usher when you enter.
Pastor Kopp gives a brief children's sermon every week and then volunteers take the kids to play in a room connected to the sanctuary during the adults' sermon.
Parents are also welcome.
Following worship, a trained prayer partner is available
to pray with you, in confidence, at the side altar.
Also after worship, we have a weekly coffee hour. It’s an informal time to meet new people and learn more about church activities.
Sunday School
10:30 am
Sunday School is for children ages 3+ and takes place immediately after communion during the school year.
We use a Bible-based curriculum that includes interactive age-appropriate lessons, activities and songs. Classes are about 30 minutes long.
In addition to Sunday School, we have Family and Youth activities, and many ways for kids to be involved in worship and service activities throughout the year. Click here to learn more about Sunday School and Family and Youth Activities.
Mission Statement
Augustana is a Christian Family in faith that prays together to know Christ and works to make Christ known throughout the community.
