Faith and Belief: Embracing the Word of God
At First Lutheran, our faith is rooted in the Bible, which serves as the guiding light for our lives.

We invite you to engage with the Scriptures through our services, Bible studies, and other opportunities for spiritual growth.

Worship: A Sacred Time of Praise and Connection
Worship is at the heart of our community at First Lutheran Manhattan. We gather each week to offer our praises to God, to reflect on His Word, and to support one another in prayer. Our worship services are designed to be engaging, uplifting, and relevant to today’s world, while staying true to our Lutheran traditions.
We believe that worship is more than just singing songs or listening to a sermon—it is a time for us to come together in unity, express our gratitude for God’s blessings, and grow in our faith. Whether you prefer contemporary music or more traditional hymns, our services offer a variety of worship styles to connect with people from all walks of life.
Our services are held weekly, and we encourage you to join us in lifting up your heart in praise. We also offer opportunities for prayer and reflection, allowing you to personally connect with God and receive His peace and guidance.
