Tree of Life Lutheran Church

About this church

Tree of Life Lutheran Church in Odessa, Delaware, gathers for Sunday morning worship with holy communion at 10:30 a.m. The service blends traditional and contemporary music and follows the classic Christian order of gathering, hearing the Word read and proclaimed, sharing the Meal of Holy Communion, and being sent out on mission. The congregation belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, in the Delaware-Maryland Synod. A coffee hour follows each Sunday's service. The atmosphere is described as relaxed, and dress ranges from slacks and ties to blue jeans.

Children's Faith Formation, known as Kingdom Kids, serves Pre-K through Grade 6 and meets every other Sunday after worship, with a confirmation class at the same time. Older Wiser Lutheran Seniors (OWLS) takes a monthly outing, and fellowship events include Rally Day, a progressive dinner, Vacation Bible School, and a summer picnic. A weekly newsletter is available on Sunday mornings.

The church sits at 505 Osbourne Street, between Route 13 North and Route 13 South. The lot has two entrances on Osbourne, with accessible spaces by the main doors; street parking and the American Legion lot across Route 13 South are alternatives. The red double doors lead to the narthex and sanctuary, and ushers are on hand. Services are livestreamed, and bulletins are posted online. Confirm times on the website.
