Discover a refreshingly inclusive worship experience at FPCLG, where an hour flies by filled with joyful praise band melodies and the comforting harmony of choral music. Hear personal stories, delve into the timeless wisdom of the Bible and receive a pastor's message designed to illuminate scripture. All are truly welcome, exactly as you are, as we seek to foster a deep connection with God and with one another.
Cross Trainers (our middle school youth group for grades 5-8), Faith Forest (our children’s ministry for grades K-4) and Noah’s Ark Preschool (for ages 2-5) meet on Sundays during the 10:00 a.m. worship service. Children attend the beginning of the worship service and are dismissed to their program after Time for Children.

FPCLG's weekly podcast "Sermons From the Sanctuary" can be found on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and YouTube.

Personal Confession
Each week one of our members makes a personal confession about something in everyday life that they can faithfully improve upon, whether from a recent experience or a deeper thought they have been considering for some time. Sharing the confession is often a source of strength for the confessor, and a message that resonates with the listeners too.
Time for Children
Every Sunday, children are invited to the front of the Sanctuary for a mini lesson on scripture, prayer or God’s love. This brief message is delivered in a way that children can relate to and understand. Following the Time For Children, they depart to their age-specific Sunday School program: Noah’s Ark, Faith Forest or Cross Trainers. Some recent examples are below:
Music
FPCLG’s Music Ministry is a broad program offering opportunities for musicians of all ages. We believe music helps us to connect with God and express praise and gratitude for God’s love. Whether you enjoy the energetic rhythms of praise music or the beautiful harmonies of a choir, at FPCLG we join together a variety of styles of music so each person can feel God’s presence in our worship service. For more information, contact Director of Music Ministry Jason Fahrenbach at jfahrenbach@fpclg.org or the Church Office at admin@fpclg.org.
The Praise Project
The Praise Project, FPCLG’s praise band, opens every worship service with a medley of songs that excite and energize us for a time of praise and connection. Featuring guitars, drums, keys and vocals, the music moves the congregation into a joyful worship experience. Practices are held on Thursday evenings from 5:30-6:15 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 9:40 a.m.
Sanctuary Choir
The Sanctuary Choir provides choral and hymnal music every Sunday, during our 10:00 a.m. worship service. Positioned in the choir loft, the group of voices soar through the Sanctuary, offering a sense of beauty and reverence.
Rehearsals are held on Thursdays from 6:30-7:15 p.m. and Sundays at 9:30 a.m. Participation is open to all who are interested.
Handbell Choir
Our Handbell Choir blesses the service with beautiful music that enhances the sacredness of the worship experience. Handbells rehearse on Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 p.m. in the Choir Room.
Grand Piano and Pipe Organ
Tyler Kivel’s closing worship music on the piano and organ are the exclamation point to our worship experience. His music inspires all who hear it, and we leave filled with awe, gratitude and peace.
Communion
We celebrate Communion as part of our worship service on the first Sunday of each month, on Maundy Thursday and during mid-week services in Lent. For us, this serves as a reminder of Christ’s self-sacrifice on the cross, and it is an expression of His love for the world. As a result, we do not restrict our shared invitation, whoever seeks the presence of Christ—regardless of age, religious tradition or spiritual condition—is welcome to share.
In most cases the bread and cup are shared by intinction—coming forward to receive the bread and dipping it in the cup. In every instance, non-alcoholic juice is used, and a gluten-free alternative is available. Additionally, those unable to come forward will be served in the pew.
