Living Word is a Lutheran congregation that began as a home study group in the summer of 2006 that organized as a house church by the end of that year. When the congregation outgrew the host living room, we accepted a generous offer from the local Christian academy to use one of their extra classrooms for our worship space. Lou Hesse was called to be our pastor in May, 2010, and in early 2013 we leased space in the "former ProBuild" building on West Broadway Avenue. We had our first service there on Reformation Sunday 2013 after months of remodel and construction, and finished up with a dedication service on January 26, 2014.
