Welcome to the website of Glory Lutheran Church, a congregation in Sherwood Park.
We are a Christian community that is Scripture and Christ-centred in all we do, so that God's glory and love may be reflected to others through us. For this reason, worship is at the heart of our life together. The services, usually led by a praise band, are a blend of traditional hymns and liturgies and contemporary music and songs. 
Glory Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC)
​
You are welcome to join us in worship, or visit us to see if God may be leading you to be a part of this faith community. 

Purpose Statement
Glory Lutheran Church is a congregation of followers of Jesus Christ.  We endeavor as a family of believers to carry out our purpose and mission in a way that glorifies the Father and uplifts and supports each other in prayer and loving community.

The purpose of Glory Lutheran Church is to glorify God by following and sharing God's Word as a loving community.

What We Believe

We affirm the historic teachings of the Christian faith as taught in the Holy Scriptures, and summarized in the Lutheran Confessions that were formulated during and after the lifetime of Martin Luther. 

• We believe in the Triune God: Creator, Redeemer and Sustainer.
• Our common foundation is God's word as revealed in the Holy Scripture and the Incarnation.
• We claim and celebrate forgiveness and eternal life through Christ's gift of salvation.
• We are nourished and enabled to grow by the Word, by the Holy Spirit, and through prayer.
• We strive to love others as God loves us and to let Christ's love be seen through us, with God's help and through prayer.
• We are all equal at the foot of the cross and we welcome all.

Guiding Principles

How do we, as a congregation of believers, commit to living out our beliefs together?
Through the following principles, founded on the teachings of Scripture, we live out our beliefs and carry out our mission.

1. Recognizing that all of our worship, learning, witnessing, service, and support is in response to God's freely given gift of grace, as individuals and as a congregation, we offer back our lives in faithful, prayerful, and joyful response.
2. Worship: As the Triune God meets us in worship through the Word and Sacraments, we respond through a blended celebration of the diverse gifts and worship styles of our members.
3. Learning: Recognizing that God is revealed to us through the Holy Scriptures and that we are saved by grace through our faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus, we provide opportunities to members of all ages for instruction in the scriptures and Lutheran Confessions so that they may grow in their faith and knowledge.
4. Witness: In response to God's gracious love for us, and by letting the light of Christ shine through us, we share God's Word, love, and message of salvation, with the wider community and the world. We welcome with joy and thanksgiving all who are led to this congregation.
5. Service: Acknowledging that Christ came to us as God's humble servant and that we are all equally humbled at the foot of the cross, we seek to put others before ourselves in joyful service to our fellow members and our neighbours.
6. Support: In faithfulness to God's desire that we live in love and harmony, we embrace the values of honesty, accountability, transparency, forgiveness, and respect for one another in every aspect of our organizational structure and congregational relationships.
