TLC Re-Opening Guidelines

Our primary objective for opening our church is that God be glorified. Part of this includes not only providing a safe environment for all who worship in our building, but with current constraints, also ensuring a positive experience. We will work to continue promoting a positive experience for those worshiping with us online.

Our Guiding Principles in this process:

The safety of those people who worship at Tallmadge Lutheran Church
Holy wisdom on fellowship and gatherings
The church’s public witness
The love for our community
The prayerful wisdom of faith leaders
The particular needs and circumstances of Tallmadge Lutheran Church
The latest recommendations/orders form the CDC and our federal, state, and local government

If you choose to worship in person, please vigilantly practice good and safe hygiene while observing social distance.

1) Take your temperature at home. If your temp is above 100.4, please stay home.

2) Sanitize your hands when entering and leaving the TLC facility.

3) Keep a physical distance of at least 6 feet between yourself and others.

4) Out of love for your brothers and sisters in Christ, we strongly encourage you to wear a facemask while at church, especially while singing.

5) Please do not come to worship if you are feeling sick at all.

WELCOME TO TALLMADGE LUTHERAN CHURCH

We’d love for you to join us this weekend. We’ve worked tirelessly to create a church environment that is engaging and most importantly meets you where you’re at in life. Come and check us out – you’ll find that it’s a great place for you to meet others just like you, connect with a ministry and discover your purpose.

Sunday Morning Worship

Traditional Service: 8:00 am – 9:05 am

This service frequently follows a divine order of service from the Lutheran Service Book led by either organ or piano. Every First Sunday of the month, we worship using the old TLH Communion liturgy.

Blended Service: 10:30 am – 11:35 am

This service combines the best of our Lutheran worship liturgy and hymns with newer worship songs led by our praise team.

Holy Communion is served every First and Third Sunday at both services.

Frequently Asked Questions

No matter how you ended up on our site, we are glad you are here. Take some time to get to know us, and we hope to get to know you soon. If you want to see your life transformed and make a difference in the lives of others, we invite you to Tallmadge Lutheran Church. People have come into Tallmadge Lutheran Church from every walk of life and grown in their relationship with God, found meaningful friendships, and discovered the joy in serving others.

What Should I Expect Sunday Morning?

We have two services on Sunday morning: 8:00 am and 10:30 am with a short fellowship time from 9:00am – 9:20am and a Bible Study time with options available for all ages from 9:20am – 10:15am. Our services start with a short welcome and worshiping God through song. We offer both a traditional worship service at 8:00am and a blended worship service at 10:30am. Our services usually include a time of confession & forgiveness, scripture readings, a children’s message, a time of teaching from the pastor, gathering God’s gifts of His people, prayer, Benediction/Sending and a final song. In between our two services we invite you to stay and get to know people over coffee and snacks. We also invite anyone who would like prayer for anything to stick around and receive prayer.

How Should I Dress?

We are a casual community of people, so feel free to come as you are. If you enjoy dressing up, feel free to do that too.

Am I Expected To Give Money?

It is important to us that guests do not feel pressured to give. The Bible teaches that giving should not be done out of compulsion, but rather a heart of worship. Our primary concern is that you connect with Jesus.

How Can I Learn More?

During any service you can mark “I would like to talk to a pastor” on the fellowship tablets. One of our pastors will reach out to you during the following week.
