Sunday Worship

Sunday Worship

We commune at both of our services, and all who are baptized are welcome to commune, including children.  Grape juice is provided as well as wine.  There is a nursery area provided which has speakers so that parents can continue to hear the service.  Our church is handicap accessible, we have a lift to our basement area, and hearing devices are provided for use during the services.

Church Front with Crosses

There are many ways for you to serve on Sunday mornings, including as a Worship Coordinator, Assisting Minister, Communion Assistant, Usher, Reader, or Acolyte.  Perhaps you would like to assist with Altar Care or the Coffee Hour. Position descriptions for these jobs are in the office. Please pick one up, and call the church office at (907) 452-3425 if you would like to volunteer!

Welcoming Statement

risenlordWe at Fairbanks Lutheran Church believe, as Saint Paul has written, that “there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; all are one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).

As a community of the people of God, we affirm our commitment to openly welcome and value every person regardless of race, national or ethnic origin, age, physical condition, mental or emotional capacity, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, economic situation, and those who suffer from addictions.

We affirm that we are all unique individuals, created by God, in need of God’s forgiveness, and richly blessed by God’s love and mercy.

All persons named and unnamed above are welcome within the membership of our congregation upon making the same affirmation of faith that all other members make. All are encouraged to share equally in the worship, fellowship, leadership, and the general life of this congregation.

A great time was had by all on the celebration of  Fairbanks Lutheran Church’s 65th anniversary. Our Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 celebration worship service and potluck luncheon was attended by many current and past friends. Many of those not able to attend sent their greetings and reflections on our history along with pictures.

Thank you to all who helped make our celebration memorable!
