Open Arms Lutheran Church and Daycare

About this church

Open Arms Lutheran Church in Van Buren Township worships Sundays at 10:00 a.m. Services combine newer praise music with historic Christian practices such as confession and absolution, Scripture readings, a children’s message, the Lord’s Prayer, a creed, preaching, and the Lord’s Supper on most Sundays. The congregation’s mission is simply framed as following Jesus, listening to him, and inviting others along that path.

Dress is casual—jeans are common, though visitors may wear whatever feels comfortable. Children and elementary ministries connect with the main worshiping community, while middle- and high-school students explore faith, service, and community outreach together. Because Open Arms also operates daycare and family programs, newcomers should distinguish church worship information from weekday care schedules. A first-time household can arrive shortly before 10:00 and ask where children’s ministry meets, or review online worship resources before coming. Communion frequency, youth gatherings, and special family events can vary, so check current announcements if those are central to the visit.
