Join Us For Worship
Sunday Mornings!

We gather Sunday morning at 9:30 in our Sanctuary. We have a traditional and contemporary style service, which generally alternate each week. Pastor John Dostal delivers our message  and administers Holy Sacrament each week. After worship, we share fellowship time together in our fireside room. Coffee & refreshments are served.

At 11:10 following fellowship, many stay for Bible Study where Pastor John is currently taking a journey through Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. This wraps at noon.

All are welcome at Concordia! We encourage you to come as you are. Experience what it’s like to be debt free, your sins have already been paid for.

New Popes, good works, and justification (by faith alone)

by | June 1, 2025 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

A couple of months ago, my wife and I rented the movie, Conclave. It was a fascinating drama about the process the Roman Catholic Church goes through to elect a new pope. It gives imaginative insight into a mysterious process.  Shortly thereafter, Pope Francis died. I...

Help!

by | May 1, 2025 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

“My help comes from the Lord who made heaven and earth” Psalm 121:2 The phrase above is so short and simple, you probably have just memorized it by reading it. That’s good. It’s not “Jesus wept” good, but almost.  The short phrases of Scripture can still have a...

Jesus died for Christians, too

by | April 1, 2025 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

Easter is just around the corner. I’ve always liked Easter. The gift baskets, bright and cheerful colors, and brunch with the family after church (hopefully, at the “all-you-can-eat” buffet!).  It’s also one of two days of the year that everyone shows up to...

Worrying about Matthew 6

by | March 1, 2025 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

25“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap...

The music of the Psalms

by | February 1, 2025 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

Have you ever walked into a store or market and heard a song that stuck in your mind even after you left? It might have been a song you like. It might have been a song that drives you crazy, and you wish you hadn’t heard it. I guess that’s why the kids nowadays put...

Rest Like Jesus Did

by | January 1, 2025 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

After the holidays, we could use a little rest. Some R and R. Downtime. Maybe a weekend getaway where there are no pressures or demands.  I have heard people use the phrase, “unplug”, meaning that there is a need for rest after busy-ness. I like that phrase....

The Unfolding of Faith: College Days and Scriptural Insights

by | January 1, 2024 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

Going away to college was one of the most transformative experiences of my life. I have referred to it many times in sermons. It is like a deep well with many stories. A few months after I started at the university, I joined a campus ministry. Some call it “parachurch...

Keeping Christ in Christianity

by | December 1, 2023 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

"Jesus is the reason for the season.” “Keep Christ in Christmas.” These slogans are popping up all over the place this time of year. They are a reaction to a society which has turned this holiday into a celebration of materialism without a savior. I understand this...

Belonging: Part 1

by | November 1, 2023 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

“Now you are the body of Christ, and each of you is a member of it.” - 1 Cor. 12:27 Membership in groups and organizations in the United States has declined precipitously in the last few decades. Fraternal organizations are only a shadow of what they used to be like....

God’s Renovation Project: Our Journey from Sin to Salvation

by | October 1, 2023 | Pastor's Monthly Message | 0 Comments

One way I unwind is by watching improvement shows. It could be a home improvement show, a self-improvement show or even a car improvement show. It’s satisfying (as the kids nowadays like to say) to see transformations. About a week ago, I started watching a...
