Faith Returns Thanks to God and Worships Him in the Person of Christ Jesus

Jesus comes in mercy and, by His Word, heals you in body and soul. “Go and show yourselves to the priests,” for you are cleansed (Luke 17:14), and you are granted access to the Lord’s temple. It is “at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks” (Luke 17:16), that you worship God, for Christ Jesus is your great High Priest; His body is the true temple. In Him, you “find rest, each of you in the house of her husband” (Ruth 1:9), for the Lord has “visited his people and given them food” (Ruth 1:6). The person of Jesus Christ lodges Himself in holy food — bread and wine for believers to eat and drink. You lodge where Jesus lodges; His Father is your God, His people are your people. Death cannot part you from Him because His death and resurrection are eternally yours through Holy Baptism. “Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead” (2 Tim. 2:8). As surely as death could not hold Him, so surely “the word of God is not bound” (2 Tim. 2:9). His Gospel is entrusted “to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also” (2 Tim. 2:2), so that you “may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus” (2 Tim. 2:10). Such is the confession of faith for all the saints, who believe, teach and confess the one Lord and Savior — Jesus Christ, OF THE LORD! Jesus is both the host and the food for the meal that we share. It is Jesus’ saving death that we proclaim whenever we dine together at the Lord’s Table, and this is what we believe:

With this congregation, I believe and confess: 

• I  am a sinner in thought, word and deed by my own grievous fault. I pray God  Almighty to have mercy on me, forgive me all my sins, and bring me to  everlasting life.
• Only  through the gift of the Holy Spirit am I able to confess that the person and work of Jesus Christ has saved me from sin, death and the Devil .  Whether my faith in Jesus feels weak or  strong today, I need Jesus and the gifts He offers me in His Supper.
• I have been baptized in the Name of the Triune God: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Through this baptism, I have new life in      Christ Jesus.
• I confess my belief that the risen Savior Jesus Christ is present in, with,      and under the Sacrament, and that with the bread and wine, I receive the      very Body and Blood of Christ Jesus my Lord.

If for any reason you cannot consume wine, white grape juice is available in the center ring of the individual cups. If coming to the altar rail is difficult for you, pastor and one of the communion assistants would be happy to bring you communion in the pews.

Welcome to Christ Lutheran Church -- A Place to Belong

At the heart of Seaford lies a place where faith, friendship, and community come together—our church. Known for its friendly and welcoming spirit, our church is more than just a building; it’s a family. Whether you’ve been walking in faith for years or are just beginning to explore your spiritual journey, you’ll feel right at home here.

Two Services, One Purpose: Worship Together

Every Sunday, we gather to worship and grow in God’s Word with two service times to fit your schedule—8:30AM and 11:00AM. Each service is filled with heartfelt music, meaningful messages, and a sense of unity that reminds us we are never alone on this journey.

Sunday School for All Ages

Learning and spiritual growth are central to who we are. That's why we offer Sunday School classes begin at 9:45AM for both adults and children. While children enjoy age-appropriate Bible lessons in a safe and nurturing environment, adults can dive deeper into scripture, ask questions, and grow alongside others who are seeking truth and encouragement.

A Church That Loves Its Community

We believe that faith isn’t just something we practice inside the church walls—it's something we live out every day. Our church is actively involved in the community, from hosting local events and supporting families in need, to volunteering and partnering with organizations that make a difference. We're here to serve, to love, and to be a light in the lives of others.

Come See For Yourself

If you’re looking for a church where you can grow, connect, and feel valued, we invite you to join us this Sunday. Whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth, you’ll be greeted with a smile and welcomed just as you are.
