Our Midweek gathering begins at 7:30pm. We engage in mindfulness, prayer, and a Bible study on the story of Mary, mother of Jesus.
Choir Rehearsal
Thursday Starting at 7:15 pm
Choir Rehearsals are in-person and online.
Sunday School
Sundays During Worship Gatherings
Children are fully welcomed into our Worship Gatherings. And, during the middle of the service children are welcome to participate in a children's message and then gather for a 20-25 minute Sunday School program (in the conference room/classroom). Children are walked back into the sanctuary right before Communion.
Youth Group
Thursday in Grace Hall at 6pm
Join us for a time of hanging out, games, food, and a brief life/spiritual lesson.
More Than a Church
A Welcoming Church at the Heart of Burbank
American Lutheran Church, a progressive ELCA congregation in Burbank, offers folks a chance to become part of something greater. To grow in their love of God and for one another within our beautiful community.
We are rooted in the stories of the Bible and believe worship is something that can be expressed in everything we do. Our philosophy is founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore we are queer affirming, neurodivergent affirming, and committed to doing the work to be anti-ableist and anti-racist.
