I'm New
We are so glad you are here! As a vibrant, faith-filled community that is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) "come and see" what we have to offer in our worship services. We'd love to meet you in person.
More about our Worship Service
Blending traditional, contemporary, creative and interactive worship components Sunday mornings follow the classic Gather, Word, Meal and Sending liturgy. Communion is offered at every service. EVERYONE is invited to Jesus' table. We are a kid-friendly, come as you are congregation. This is a place where all belong. We don't always do it "right" (aka perfectly) we do it "real."
Do you have more questions about who we are, what we are passionate about, baptism, confirmation, weddings, or membership at Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church? Email us. We welcome you with open arms to check us out.
If you are interested in joining our congregation, please email our office or have a schedule a chat with our Pastor. We love to make connections and hope to meet you soon!
Our History
In 1995, several families from All Saints Lutheran Church in Aurora formed a working group with the Rocky Mountain Synod and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America to plan a new congregation on Smoky Hill Road. Tom Renquist was called in late 1995 to be the developing pastor. After ringing more than 6,000 doorbells, the first worship service was held in the cafeteria of Thunder Ridge Middle School with 211 people attending.
A Sunday School program developed in April, 1996.....a mission statement was developed in June, 1996.....and on December 8, 1996, Lord of the Hills Lutheran Church was officially organized with 228 baptized members. Construction on our 9,800-square-foot building began July, 2002, and was dedicated it to the glory of God on May 18, 2003. In spring 2009, we dedicated a parish life center (PLC) that provides 6,500 additional square-feet for classrooms, offices, a choir room and youth rooms.
The ELCA is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States. We are a church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. With nearly 2.7 million members in more than 8,400 worshiping communities across the 50 states and in the Caribbean region. We are grounded in God’s promise in the Scriptures to comfort, accompany, and redeem. As Lutherans, we believe that God works through both law and gospel, calling us to serve our neighbors and providing mercy, hope, and joy through Jesus Christ in modern, often unsettling times.
