About Our Savior Lutheran Church

Our Community: Our Savior Lutheran Church is an active, welcoming faith community. We have programs to serve people of all ages. We are united by our faith in God, and by our sense of community as believers and neighbors. We aspire to become better people, to build community in our church and in our local area, and to serve as a beacon of God's love here in Naples, Florida.

Our Facilities:  We are fortunate to enjoy beautiful and well-developed facilities.  Our sanctuary, church center, and preschool are conveniently located in Naples and are situated on well-maintained grounds.   You can get some sense of our facilities through this web site, particularly our photo gallery.   Click here for a map showing our location at 1955 Curling Avenue in Naples.  (This is an external link and will open in a new window.)

Altar Circle: The Altar Circle is entrusted with the privilege of preparing the chancel and its furnishings for worship. The overall goal of those providing altar care is to see that the worship space is kept beautiful and in good order, both to glorify God and to provide a setting which enables the congregation to worship in a meaningful way. The Altar Circle meets as needed.

Friendship Circle: The Friendship Circle is a social arm of our church.   This group maintains contact with the congregation’s shut-ins and with members who are ill, offering to arrange help if necessary.  The group schedules greeters to be on duty at each worship service.  The Friendship Circle also maintains the church Library, which is well stocked and well used.  Finally, the Friendship Circle has seasonal projects such as providing Christmas bags for the children after their Christmas Program each year.  The Friendship Circle meets on a regular basis.

Missions: Our "Mites for Missions" program enables us to support our ELS mission church in the United States and abroad to our foreign mission churches.  We send a representative to the Synod's Mission Society, and this representative spearheads the mission-support work of our church.  In addition, Our Savior Lutheran Church participates in the spring and fall rallies according to a pre-planned schedule of duties. 

Our Beliefs: Our Savior Lutheran Church is a congregation of men and women who believe that: The Bible is the ultimate source and norm of these doctrines we confess. As a correct and authoritative summary of the doctrines in the Bible, we use and treasure the Lutheran Confessions as they are found in the Book of Concord of 1580. These include the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, the Athanasian Creed, the (unaltered) Augsburg Confession, the Apology (or defense) of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, Luther's Small Catechism, Luther's Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord (both Epitome and Solid Declaration).
