Who we are

What is Rejoice! Lutheran Church?

Rejoice! Lutheran Church is much more than a set of numbers on a parochial report, but the numbers do attest to successful efforts at being the church in this time and this place. God has blessed the congregation with good leaders, good stewardship, and effective worship. Located in suburban Omaha, Nebraska, Rejoice! sits on 3.7 acres of land with good access to traffic and a great reputation in the community.

Our People

As is the case everywhere this congregation is more than a pretty and functional building, it is a dedicated group of individuals seeking to do corporately what they cannot do individually. While membership spans the full spectrum of ages, Rejoice! members are on average a decade younger than its counterparts in other Lutheran congregations. In keeping with that statistic, Rejoice! has a youth and family ministry that is a model for others. There are numerous opportunities for worship, service, education, and fellowship.

Rejoice! members are more likely to have come from other denominations than your typical Lutheran congregation. This rich diversity helps make Rejoice! a welcoming place.

Our Worship

Rejoice! worship services might best be described as "blended." The typical worship service fits somewhere on the spectrum between "traditional" and "praise." There are numerous vocal and instrumental groups that add to the richness of the experience. Sermons are carefully timed due to the back to back schedule. The Eucharist is celebrated each week at every service.

Our Staff

Rejoice! has two ordained pastors on staff, Brad Meyer, Senior Pastor and Darrell Anderson, Pastor of Faith Formation. Our pastors give guidance to the many and various ministries of the congregation.

Sue Halvorson, is Director of Children's Ministry and Christian Education and Andrew Karmmann is the Director of Youth and Family Ministry.

About Stewardship

Rejoice! is a generous congregation. In addition to meeting its annual benevolence commitment, Rejoice! separately funds benevolent activities at the local, state, national, and international levels. Members feed hundreds of families Thanksgiving meals, actively participate in Habitat for Humanity, work camps for youth and adults, Christmas gifts for the less fortunate, labor for meal services at homeless shelters, clothing and quilts for those in need. The list goes on and on.

Our Vision

Rejoice! began as a transplanted "mission congregation" and continues to value the need to be a congregation in mission. Rejoice! is seeking to expand the mission of the church by helping to develop the West Omaha ministry site of Living Grace Lutheran Church. The congregation seeks to honor its tradition while innovatively addressing the needs of the present and of the future.

The power of Christian prayer When we stumble...
O Lord our God, Who has called us to serve You in the midst of the world's affairs, When we stumble, hold us; when we fall, lift us up. When we are hard pressed with evil, deliver us. When we turn from what is good, turn us back and bring us at last to Your glory.
