​At Lord of Life Lutheran Church, our mission is to live out God’s Work. Our Hands., by serving others and sharing God's Word and love through everyday actions. We believe that Jesus Christ, our Savior, has freed us from sin and offers forgiveness and new life through God's grace and the gift of faith. We’re a vibrant church family serving Brighton, MI and nearby communities, growing as disciples of Jesus, serving with compassion, welcoming all with hospitality, and striving for excellence in everything we do.

What Makes Us Different

  • We are rooted in Scripture and Lutheran tradition but we don’t stay stuck in the past.
     

  • Our community includes people in every stage of life with no pressure to be perfect.
     

  • Our church doesn’t just gather, we go out and serve.
     

  • Worship is meaningful, not complicated. Teaching is practical, not preachy.
