Messiah Lutheran Church, Knoxville TN

Can you imagine a home that is a refuge from the stresses and strains of life? Can you imagine a place where you are welcomed and appreciated? Can you imagine a home where you are nourished and refreshed with grace, faith and the power to live the kind of life you've always longed to live? Can you imagine a spiritual home that offers you an encounter with the God who created you, who gifted you, who knows you, and who loves you unconditionally?

At Messiah our form of worship is known as "liturgical," meaning literally "a work of the people." Thus, in worship, you will witness the assembly standing, sitting, kneeling, and responding (through words, songs, and silence.) In other words, for Lutheran Christians, worship is not passive, but very much an act - a work in which we all participate.

Of course, worship is much more than what can be explained here. So, we invite you to come and see. Come join our assembly as we seek to worship God as he meets us in word and sacrament, in silence and song, in good news announced and in peace shared.
