Get Involved

A Place to Belong.
A Way to Serve.

Whatever stage of life you're in, there's a place for you here. Mt. Horeb offers ministries for every age and every calling.

Ministry 01

Worship & Music

Sunday morning worship is the heartbeat of Mt. Horeb. Our service blends the depth of Lutheran liturgical tradition with music that is both beautiful and accessible — hymns, anthems, and contemporary pieces that carry the weight of the Gospel.

Our choir, musicians, and worship team prepare every week to create services that feel both reverent and alive. Whether you love traditional hymnody or contemporary worship, you'll find something here that moves you.

Get Involved

  • Sunday Choir — rehearsals during the week (schedule TBD)
  • Instrumentalists welcome — contact the office
  • Worship volunteers (ushers, greeters, communion assistants)

Adult Faith Formation

Faith grows when it's challenged. Our adult formation programs create space for serious engagement with scripture, Lutheran theology, and the questions that real life raises. This isn't Sunday school in the old sense — it's genuine formation for people who want their faith to go deeper.

Sunday morning Faith Formation begins at 9:00 AM, an hour before worship. Wednesday Bible Study offers a mid-week anchor. Both are open to anyone — no prior knowledge required.

Current Offerings

  • Sunday Faith Formation · 9:00 AM
  • Wednesday Bible Study (time TBD — contact office)
  • Additional class names and descriptions coming soon

Youth Ministry

Teenagers need a place to ask hard questions, form real friendships, and encounter a faith that holds up under pressure. That's what our youth ministry exists to provide.

From weekly gatherings to service projects to retreats, we invest in young people not as the "future of the church" — but as fully present members of it right now.

Youth Programs

  • Weekly youth group meetings (schedule TBD)
  • Confirmation program for middle schoolers
  • High school ministry and leadership development
  • Annual youth retreat and service trip
  • Contact the office for current schedule details

Children's Ministry

Children belong in the life of the church — and at Mt. Horeb, that belief shapes everything we do for kids. From the nursery to elementary-age programming, we create environments where children encounter the faith in age-appropriate, engaging, and joyful ways.

Our Sunday school program meets during the worship hour, giving kids their own experience while parents worship. Vacation Bible School in the summer is a community highlight.

Children's Programs

  • Sunday school during the 10:00 AM service
  • Nursery care available for infants and toddlers
  • Vacation Bible School (summer — dates TBD)
  • Full schedule and class details coming soon

Community Outreach & Service

Mt. Horeb has been part of the Chapin community for 135 years. We take seriously our responsibility to care for our neighbors — locally, regionally, and globally through ELCA World Hunger and social ministry partnerships.

Serving isn't a program here — it's woven into who we are. There are regular opportunities to get involved in meaningful hands-on service throughout the year.

Service Opportunities

  • Local food pantry and community care initiatives
  • ELCA World Hunger support
  • Full list of community partners coming soon

Senior Fellowship

Our senior adults are among the most faithful, formative voices in this congregation. Senior Fellowship creates regular opportunities for connection, learning, service, and the kind of deep friendship that comes from decades of walking together.

Fellowship Activities

  • Regular fellowship gatherings (schedule TBD)
  • Day trips and community outings
  • Pastoral care and visitation program
