5 /5 Layne Campbell: You could sleep in while on vacation, or you could find rest for your soul and attend the service at Mammoth Lutheran. The worship service was genuine, sweet, and biblically focused. I was delighted to step into the cozy old chapel with sun streaming in through the stained glass windows and a pianist playing old hymns echoing throughout. The pastor and small local congregation were as welcoming as could be. We have three young children, who can be a little bit loud, but everyone was delighted that we brought them and the pastor engaged with them directly during the start of the message. a grandmotherly woman invited the kids to do a little Sunday school in the back during the bulk of the sermon and they loved the arts and crafts she did with them about the lesson. Lutherans pack a lot of liturgy into one hour, all the worship music was from the hymnal, there was a lot of direct scripture reading and a few creeds. I couldnt say if their theology is progressive or conservative, but it was heavily biblically grounded. This is not the type of church we go to back home, but it was wonderful, and we were so glad we did not skip worship just because we were on vacation.
