Faith Lutheran Church & School

About this church

Faith Lutheran Church in Bear, Delaware, is a congregation of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod that holds two worship services each Sunday. An acoustic contemporary service begins at 8:15 AM, with song lyrics projected on screen. A traditional service follows at 10:30 AM, using the hymnal and printed bulletin, with organ and piano. Communion is celebrated every week, and services last about an hour. On months with a fifth Sunday, the congregation holds a single combined service at 9:30 AM instead. The 10:30 service is livestreamed on YouTube, and sermons are archived there afterward.

Beyond Sunday worship, the church offers Bible study groups that meet between services and during the week, including some on Zoom, plus an impromptu lunch bunch after church, LWML and Women of Faith groups, and youth groups. Seasonal events include Vacation Bible School, a Fall Festival, and Trunk or Treat. Faith Lutheran Preschool serves children ages three to five on morning schedules during the school year; the site lists enrollment as full for the coming year, with a waitlist available. First-time visitors can dress in whatever is comfortable. A nursery for infants and toddlers is next to the sanctuary, and Sunday School for children meets during the 10:30 service. The church practices closed communion, and those not communing are invited forward for a blessing. The church is at 2265 Red Lion Rd; confirm times on the website or by calling the office.
