City Water coming to Community Lutheran Church

We are happy to let you know our plans for city water have been sent to the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. We are hoping to hear soon that those plans have been approved.

Growing in Faith: Foundation Year – Six 5-week classes (for new students starting Sept 2022)

This first year of study will provide a strong foundation which will be built upon in year 2 and subsequent study.  This foundation year of classes will be offered each year with in-person classes in various locations in the Grand Canyon Synod in order to establish the community that has been so important to this program. Zoom options should also be offered for those either not close enough, or with physical limitations, which prevent attending in person.

• 1. Christianity in a Lutheran Key
• 2. Intro First Testament/Hebrew Scriptures
• 3. Intro New Testament
• 4. Lutheran Creeds and Confessions
• 5. Living as a Christian in the world
• 6. Worship Matters

Growing in Faith: Practical Year – Six 5-week classes 

Road to Service or Faith Formation Tracks (for second-year students starting Sept 2023)

Students who wish to earn a Growing in Faith: Diakonia graduation certificate need to choose a track for the practical year. This second year is designed to put flesh on the skeleton of the foundation year courses.  Additional classes may be taken after completing the two-year program as continuing education or Beyond Diakonia. These classes will be a combination of hybrid and online classes.

Colorado River Conference celebrates leaders

On Wednesday, May 4th, 2022, congregations of the Colorado River Conference joined together for dinner and worship to “Celebrate Leaders’ who helped us navigate the last two difficult years in ministry.

Rev. Marta Poling Schmitt was the guest preacher and music was provided by our hosts Christ the Servant and New Song, with additional participation from Community Lutheran in Bullhead City, AZ, and Las Vegas churches Living Hope, Saint Andrew, Community, and Holy Spirit.

We know we are truly church together, and give thanks to God for the grace and love of Jesus and the Spirit that helps us to persevere in challenging times!
