Here in the Sonoran Desert, we wear comfortable and casual clothing. We also follow Jesus’ model of practicing inclusivity and an open table. This means all people are welcome to worship, celebrate communion, fellowship, learn, and join us as we go out into the world to share the love of Christ.

At a worship service, you will experience bible readings; music such as organ, piano, handbells, instrumental ensembles, and choir; singing; a message for children and adults; a communion table that is open to all; prayers of the people; an opportunity to support the ministries of Lutheran Church of the Foothills; and a commission to go into the world to share the grace and love of Christ.
What do you offer for the children?
We enjoy having children in worship and provide a special place near the front on the pulpit side of the worship space designated the Pray-Ground where children can worship, wiggle, play, color, learn, and grow as part of our faith community. Caregivers are encouraged to sit where children can see them, in case they need assistance.
What worship options do you offer?
There are three ways to experience worship at Lutheran Church of the Foothills. Join our informal small group Discussion Gospel + Communion in the Learning Center at 8:00a, attend our traditional Sunday worship in the sanctuary at 10:00a, or join us online via Youtube at whatever times suits your schedule!
Will I be welcome?
