About Us
Faith Lutheran Church is a biblically-based, Christian congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. Located on US-301 in Parrish, Florida, we also draw members from the surrounding communities of Bradenton, Ellenton, Palmetto, Ruskin, Sarasota, Sun City Center and Wimauma.
Members are full-time residents of the area, many living in the local 55+ communities. Associate members are “snowbirds” who spend their winters in Florida, retaining primary membership with their northern church homes. Both members and associate members are granted voting privileges in the Voters’ Assembly of the congregation.
8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
events
We’ve got some exciting things happening at church, and there’s always something for everyone to be a part of. Whether it’s a casual hangout, a special service, or a fun family-friendly event, these gatherings are a great way to build community and grow in faith together.
From small group meetups to service projects and seasonal celebrations, there’s never a dull moment. These events are designed to help you connect—not just with others, but also with God in meaningful ways. Everyone’s welcome, and it’s a great chance to invite a friend too!
Make sure to stay in the loop by checking our bulletin, website, or social media. We’d hate for you to miss out on the fun and fellowship. We’re looking forward to spending time with you and making some great memories along the way!
