Who We Are
Christ Our Savior is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. We are conservative about the Bible, often catholic in appearance, but relentlessly focused on salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, informed by Scripture alone.
Our congregation is small, but it is younger, more diverse, and more active than average in our church body. We like to think of ourselves as aggressively friendly.

Food Pantry
While Christ Our Savior is primarily a “Word and Sacrament Ministry,” we take seriously our Lord’s command to care for those in need around us. One important way we do that is through our Food Pantry program, an effort helped by many volunteers beyond our membership, but which takes place right in our community Center. If you are interested in volunteering with the food pantry, or think you might benefit from the food we provide, please follow the link to our Food Pantry Page.
About Our Pastor
Christ Our Savior is currently under the care of a vacancy pastor from the Texas District of the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod. While we are between called pastors, the vacancy pastor provides Word and Sacrament ministry, pastoral care, and support for the congregation as we seek the Lord’s guidance for our next called pastor.
Giving at Christ Our Savior
Some churches talk a lot about money, but we don’t much, really. The Lutheran approach to giving, as to many other issues, is to encourage a faith so strong that you are willing to bet your life on it–that you are living in certainty of a heavenly future–and then live obediently in this life to the God who has saved us. He commands generosity, and so we obey.
We really do appreciate the generosity of our members and friends of the congregation. So far, that has been enough to get by. We like to make it easy to support us. Here’s how:
In person giving
We receive an offering every Sunday. We accept cash and checks. We provide envelopes so that you can receive a summary for tax purposes or whatever else, although the pastor is generally ignorant of giving levels. Midweek services often do not have a formal offering, but we are always willing to receive help in person, with our thanks.
Mail In Checks
Please do not mail cash. If you would like to mail a check, use the church address shown above. We do not generally acknowledge mailed offerings except at the end of the year.
Credit Cards
We have two services we use if you would like to donate with credit card. Please not that both of these methods result in a service fee to us, so that we do not receive the full offering you make.
Paypal credit card donation:
Direct Bank Transfer
We currently support Zelle. If your bank supports Zelle, you can set up to transfer money to us without fees. Your bank may support the ability for you to make regular donations, which we really appreciate. Our Zelle id is our admin email: admin@coslc.org .
