Advent & Christmas at Atonement

On Christmas Eve, seating can fill up quickly. Please arrive early to allow time to park and find a seat.

Come as you are and be comfortable! You will find worshippers in anything from jeans to dresses and suits!

Atonement has three entrances—on the north, east, and south sides of the building. All have handicapped-accessible parking and ramps and lead to the sanctuary at the south end of the building. We also offer personal hearing systems in the sanctuary for those experiencing difficulty hearing and noise-cancelling headphones for those who are sensitive to loud environments (for assistance, please speak to an usher). Restrooms are located next to the nursery, north of the sanctuary.

YOU are! At Atonement, we practice “open communion,” which means that everyone and anyone is welcome at God’s table. It does not matter what denomination you belong to, which congregation you attend, or even if you are a church-goer at all; YOU are welcome to the table with us. (You will find guidance for communion in the printed worship bulletin at each worship service.)

Yes! We love kids! Parents and children are encouraged to attend worship together with friends and neighbors. Should it be one of those times when sitting still is just too challenging, DURING ALL CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICES, we also offer a crib room and a staffed nursery north of the sanctuary for children up to age 5. Parents can also sit with their children in the lobby, where they can hear and follow the services together.

YOU are welcome at Atonement. Atonement Lutheran Church believes that all people are created by God and share the same need for forgiveness, hope, and healing. Even on issues where it is difficult to reach a consensus, Atonement desires to reflect the love of Jesus with a welcoming spirit. Moving beyond the common distinctions of race, national origin, age, gender, physical, mental, and emotional condition or capacity, political perspective, personal history, marital status, sexual orientation, and economic or social situation, we seek to invite and welcome all people to experience God’s love and grace.

Atonement's worship services follow Lutheran liturgy, with the addition of various musicians and hymn styles. Our worship is a blend of worship styles.
