SUNDAY WORSHIP
We would love to meet you in-person this Sunday at 9:15 a.m.!
You’re always welcome to visit Southwest Lutheran Church. Come see what we’re about, how we worship and hear God’s Word of comfort and challenge. Share our Fellowship and learn along with us as we follow Jesus together.
Come ‘as you are’ to our contemporary Worship. Some of us wear casual clothes and some of us dress up. Southwest Lutheran is for quiet kids and loud kids. Southwest Lutheran is for young adults, new families, empty-nesters, respected elders and everyone in-between. Southwest Lutheran is for both newcomers to America and native-born Americans. We have a special connection with the Pwo Karen (Burmese) population here in the Fort Wayne area. Southwest Lutheran is for new believers and life-long followers of Jesus. Whoever you are, Jesus is here for you.
Worship with us in-person on Sunday mornings at 9:15 a.m. at 5120 Homestead Rd in Fort Wayne, IN.
