What time is Sunday School?
Sunday School for all ages begins after the morning service. Morning service starts at 10:00 am and last for about an hour.

Both services are traditional, with a twist. While neither is strictly contemporary our music runs the gamut from ancient to traditional to modern. Our amazingly gifted musician allows us to enjoy a wide variety of musical styles each week in worship.
Do you have a band?
Nope. We do not have a band or a praise team. We do however have a robust music program. Throughout the year our youth and adult choirs regularly sing. We also host a wide variety of musical guests, some instrumentalists and some singers who add to our worship life.
Is there a better service for small children?
The best worship service for children has more to do with your family and your child’s schedule than anything else. At the 11:15 am service we do offer “Kid’s Church.” Right before the sermon younger children have the option to leave worship and have time to learn about the lessons of the day in an age appropriate way.

What is a Lutheran?
Lutheran Church of the Master is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and part of the Southeast Michigan Synod.
As part of the ELCA we hold many things in common. The ELCA confesses the Triune God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In our preaching and teaching, the ELCA trusts the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.
ELCA teaching or theology serves the proclamation and ministry of this faith. It does not have an answer for all questions, not even all religious questions. Teaching or theology prepares members to be witnesses in speech and in action of God’s rich mercy in Jesus Christ.
You can learn more about the basic teachings of the ELCA on their website: http://www.elca.org/Faith/ELCA-Teaching.
