How Do I Meet People?
Our church is friendly and welcoming! Whether you are a five-year old child, a ninety-five year old grandmother, a busy mom, or a businessman with big responsibilities, we want you to be a part of our vibrant church community. Here is how you can learn, serve, and grow at St. Philip Lutheran Church
Bible Studies and Small Groups
Often, small groups of people are better able to interact and learn than larger groups are. These are great places to be able to get to know people and connect. For that reason, our church has Bible studies held at church or in member homes. Groups meet on different days and locations.

Caring Ministries
St. Philip is a place of love, care and service. God calls us to care for those in need, which includes those in our congregation, those around us and people around the world. Check out our Caring Ministry page to learn all about our caring and serving ministries: https://www.stphilip-co.org/caring-ministries/
Children & Youth Ministry
Children are the future and we believe it is important for them to form a foundation of faith. It begins at home by reading them stories from the Bible and continues at church with Sunday School, Confirmation and Youth Group. St. Philip hosts Vacation Bible School each year to help even more children build and grow on their foundation of faith. This is a great place for children and youth to meet people and make new friends!

Sign-Up for Altar Flowers
Select the date you wish to purchase altar flowers for and comment with whom or what the flowers are dedicated to/for. There can be two bouquets per Sunday, but it’s not required. The cost is $30. You are welcome to take your flowers home after the service on Sunday, or stop by the church the Monday after the service you chose to pick up your flowers. Please return the vase to the church office when finished.
Be a Greeter
Welcome and shake hands with those coming into church for worship on Sunday mornings. This is a great ministry of hospitality, it’s fun and easy.
Be an Assisting Minister
Assisting Ministers are those who help to lead worship and assist with Holy Communion. Being an Assisting Minister requires training. Please contact Sandi Stevermer or Pastor Brad for more information about training. Those who are trained to assist can sign up here.
Lector – Reader
Lectors are those who read the first and second lessons in worship on Sundays. If there are unknown words to you or how to pronounce something, feel free to ask Pastor Brad.
Serve Communion
Communion Servants are the people who help to serve communion on a Sunday by pouring the wine into the cups for Holy Communion with the words, “The blood of Christ shed for you.”
Serve Communion to those in their Pew or Chair
There are people who come to worship who are unable to come up to communion. This person will take communion to these people in their chair or in their pew, during the distribution of Holy Communion.
Youth Acolytes
Youth from 5th grade through middle school can sign up to light candles, carry the cross, and assist with communion.
