New Life Lutheran Church

About this church

New Life Lutheran Church offers a brief Saturday worship service from 5 to 5:30 p.m. and traditional Sunday worship with Holy Communion at 10 a.m. at 8010 Fruitville Road in Sarasota. The Sunday service is also broadcast on Facebook Live and archived on YouTube. Vine Time Bible study meets Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. The congregation includes year-round residents, seasonal residents, and travelers, making its digital ministry and clearly published weekly hours especially useful for people moving between in-person and online participation.

New Life is part of the ELCA that welcomes people from Lutheran, other Protestant, Catholic, and previously unchurched backgrounds. Its beliefs page emphasizes God's grace in Jesus Christ, Scripture, Baptism, Communion, and Christian service. Worship ministry includes choir, music, readers, ushers, altar care, and technology, while learning and caring ministries offer study, fellowship, pastoral support, and help during difficult seasons. The church's history reflects the growth of a Lutheran community in eastern Sarasota County. Guests wanting the fullest liturgical experience can choose Sunday at 10; the concise Saturday service may suit someone seeking a shorter weekend option. Anyone joining while away from Sarasota can use the Sunday livestream or archives. Seasonal participants should check the calendar around major holidays, when additional services may supplement the ordinary schedule.
