Living Word Lutheran Church

About this church

Living Word Lutheran Church gathers at 9 a.m. Sunday at 2240 Living Word Lane in Jackson. The service pairs contemporary music with preaching grounded in Scripture and celebrates Holy Communion every week. Visitors who have questions about receiving Communion can speak with the pastor or an elder before or after worship. From September through May, Sunday School and adult Bible study follow from 10:30 to 11:15, creating a natural second hour for households that want age-specific learning.

The congregation began in 1997 as an effort to serve the Jackson community, initially worshiping at Schmidt Funeral Home after members of First Immanuel planted the church. In 2001 it opened a Child Development Center in response to demand for Christ-centered childcare, later moving beside Living Word Lutheran High School and expanding classrooms and a multipurpose room. Living Word describes its approach as remaining rooted in Lutheran biblical teaching while using a contemporary worship form. Congregational elders and council members are available after Sunday services as well as by phone or email, giving newcomers a direct way to ask about doctrine, care, or participation. A first visit is straightforward: come for 9 a.m. worship, expect Communion and contemporary music, and, during the school year, stay for Sunday School or adult study.
