Messiah Lutheran Church

About this church

Messiah Lutheran Church in Lebanon, Illinois, is a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod that gathers for Divine Service on Sundays at 9:00 a.m. at 801 N Madison St. The service follows a traditional liturgy used each week, including confession and absolution, Scripture readings, preaching, the Creed, the prayers of the church, and the Lord's Supper. The church describes its worship as centered on receiving Christ's gifts through Word and Sacrament rather than on entertainment.

Sunday School and Bible Study meet at 10:15 a.m., after the morning service. The website also mentions various Bible studies and book studies that people can join. Families with young children are encouraged to worship together. The church does not run a separate children's church or nursery during the service, but a cry room at the rear of the building has a large window and a speaker tied to the sound system, so parents can keep following along if a child needs a break. Recorded sermons, weekly bulletins, and a calendar of events are posted online, which helps first-time visitors know what to expect. Visitors can call (618) 537-2300 or email the church office with questions, and should confirm times on the website before attending.
