Welcome to Christ Risen Lutheran Church! Divine Service is every Sunday @ 10:30 am. We are a confessional Lutheran congregation serving the communities of Kanata and Stittsville in Ottawa’s West End. We believe the Bible is the Word of God. We confess The Three Ecumenical Creeds: The Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed, and Athanasian Creed. We subscribe to the Book of Concord (1580). Christ Risen Lutheran Church is a member congregation of Lutheran Church—Canada. If you are visiting from a sister congregation and wish to receive communion, we ask that you kindly reach out beforehand to speak with our pastor. Guests may come for a blessing. For our first time visitors, our worship service follows an order of service laid out in our hymnal, the Lutheran Service Book. All are welcome.

The Church commemorates …

Philip on October 11th. The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod document of Commemoration Biographies describes Philip as follows: Philip, also called the Evangelist (Acts 21:8), was one of the seven men appointed to assist in the work of the twelve Apostles and of the rapidly growing early church by overseeing the distribution of food to the poor (6:1–6). Following the martyrdom of Stephen, Philip proclaimed the Gospel in Samaria and led Simon the Sorcerer to become a believer in Christ (8:4–13). He was also instrumental in bringing about the conversion of the Ethiopian eunuch (8:26–39), through whom Philip became indirectly responsible for bringing the Good News of Jesus to the people on the continent of Africa. In the town of Caesarea he was host for several days to the Apostle Paul, who stopped there on his last journey to Jerusalem (21:8–15).
