The congregation of Nativity cordially
invites you to worship with us on Sunday
The Congregation worships in a sanctuary that was originally a cattle barn on
the historic Gregory-Rich Farm, hence the name Nativity. Its worship and
congregational life continue to be built on the principles of the Reformation
begun by Martin Luther in the 16th century.

Nativity Lutheran Church is a congregation of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America and of the New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in
America
At Nativity we believe that Christ's life-transforming love is at work in and through us for the world. If you
are seeking a refuge where you will be spiritually fed and a community where your faith can flourish, then
come and experience the deep sense of belonging at Nativity.

Nativity offers warm, reverent, Christ-centered worship for all ages. Inspiring music and engaging liturgies
with biblically based sermons help us sense and share God's love.
 
Reverend Jerry LiaBraaten received a Bachelor of
Music Degree from Concordia College and Master of
Divinity Degree from Wartburg Seminary. Prior to
coming to Nativity in April 2003, he spent 18 years
serving congregations in Virginia.
