Welcome To Abiding Presence

Who We Are and What We Do...

Open hearts, open minds, called to serve God's world in challenging times.

Service Time & Directions

We're a friendly, inclusive congregation. We invite you to join us for worship, Bible study, or community service. Our worship begins at 9:30 am Sundays. Join us in person at 1550 Walton Blvd., Rochester Hills, or online. Come as you are. We're just happy to see you. Our greeters will meet you at the door.

What to Expect

WORSHIP STYLE

We follow a traditional worship format. We sing, listen to scripture, hear a reflection, celebrate Holy Communion, and pray for others.

Bring the kids
We love to have babies and children at worship. No need to worry if they are wiggly or vocal! We have activity bags to keep them busy and invite them to the altar for a blessing during communion and a special Youth Message.

Communion
You’re welcome to share in Holy Communion. Those not yet communing are encouraged to come forward at the time of communion to receive a blessing.  

New Member Class

Throughout the year, we offer a class for folks considering joining Abiding Presence. The class provides an overview of Abiding Presence, the Lutheran tradition, and the wider church to which we are connected. Additional meetings are offered depending on the interest of the group. Learn more about the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America by visiting the denominational website. New members are received during a Sunday worship service and given some resources to help them settle into the congregation.

What Visitors Say...

"We tried several churches in the area and began to feel that there was no good fit for us in our community. And then we found Abiding Presence. We attended one Sunday and immediately felt welcomed and comfortable. The community of Abiding Presence exemplifies one of my most strongly felt tenets of Christianity, which is to love one another. People are embraced regardless of differences in lifestyles just as the Bible teaches. The principles of the Lutheran faith are respected and practiced in each service as we celebrate the joy in being children of God."
