What to Expect:
Visiting a new church can bring up a lot of questions. Our hope is to make you feel at home. You’ll find a community of real people, each on their own journey, who are happy you’ve chosen to join them. We were all new once, too!
Below, we’ve answered some common questions to help you prepare for your visit. If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to us at info@fishersofmen.org. We look forward to meeting you!
What To Expect At Worship
Our Sunday Worship Services
We offer two distinct worship services every Sunday in our main sanctuary, each designed to help you connect with God in a meaningful way.
8:30 a.m. Traditional Service
Experience a classic worship service featuring hymns led by our piano and choir. This service includes a special children’s message and offers Holy Communion on the first, third, and fifth Sundays of the month.
11:00 a.m. Blended Service
This service blends traditional elements with a modern feel. Worship is led by our Praise Band, featuring a mix of classic hymns and contemporary Christian music. A children’s message is also included, and Holy Communion is offered on the first, third, and fifth Sundays.
No matter which service you attend, our goal is to provide a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Please come as you are—whether in your “Sunday best” or in jeans and a T-shirt, you are welcome here. We’ll see you at our Sugar Land worship services!
Holy Communion is a precious gift from God and a central part of our worship. We invite you to join us in this sacrament. If you have any questions, we encourage you to speak with our Pastor or an Elder before the service.
The Real Presence of Christ
Following the teachings of scripture (1 Corinthians 11:27-29), we believe in the Real Presence of Christ in Holy Communion. We take Jesus at His word (“This is My Body…this is my Blood shed for you…”), trusting that with the bread and wine, we truly receive His body and blood.
To receive this sacrament, we first prepare ourselves by examining our hearts, confessing our sins, and turning to God for forgiveness. We then come forward in faith, recognizing Christ’s body and blood “in and under” the earthly elements. All who believe in Jesus as their Savior and are prepared to take these steps are welcome to receive Communion with us.
If you are not communing and would like to receive a blessing instead, please simply fold your hands as you come forward.
Important Information:
- The inner ring of communion cups contains non-alcoholic wine.
- Gluten-free wafers are available upon request.
We believe that families should worship and grow in faith together. Children are a vital part of our church community, and our services are designed to be engaging for all ages.
During each service, children are invited to the front for a special Children’s Message. This is a dedicated time for our kids to hear a short, relevant lesson from the pastor or a children’s ministry leader.
To help our youngest members stay engaged during the service, we provide “Busy Bags” filled with quiet toys and activities. We also have coloring pages and worksheets based on the day’s Bible story, along with crayons and clipboards, all available for your child to use.
We welcome babies and children to worship with their families. If you or your little one needs a different space during the service, our Nursery Room is available for your use.
The Nursery Room is a dedicated play space for babies and young children. It is staffed with a caring volunteer during Sunday School and the 11:00 a.m. service, offering a safe place for your child to play while you worship. During the 8:30 a.m. service, the room is available as an unsupervised space for you and your child.
To make sure you don’t miss a moment, the service is live-streamed to a TV in the Nursery Room.
If you would like to use the Nursery Room, simply ask an usher, and they will be happy to show you the way.
SUNDAY SCHOOL
A dedicated Sunday School hour for children and youth begins at 9:45 AM. Children ages two years old through 5th grade meet in the Fishers Kids Area on the first floor of the sanctuary building, while middle school and high school students meet upstairs in the Youth Room (A-215, the room at the very end of the hallway). For more information on our Sunday School classes, click HERE for children and click HERE for youth.
ADULT BIBLE STUDY
Adult Bible classes also begin at 9:45 AM in the Fellowship Chapel. Bible Study is usually led by our Pastor(s) and is a relaxed environment in which to learn more as we grow in our faith together. If you are unable to attend Adult Bible Classes in person, you can catch up on the discussions in our Bible Study Video Library.

If you would like to request the use of our facilities for either church-related or non-church-related events, please click HERE and complete the Event and Facility Use Request Form.
This form is for all church events, on or off campus, and all facility use requests, church or non-church. Completing the form does not guarantee your room reservation or event approval. All events must be approved before they will be scheduled and added to the church calendar. Note: our church is located in Sugar Land, Texas.
Please do not complete this form if you would like to schedule a Wedding or Baptism (during a church service or private). Please refer to the Baptism and Wedding sections for information on how to schedule these events.
As Lutheran Christians, we believe that Baptism is a Sacrament— meaning, a sacred act. This is not something WE do; it is something God does for us.
Baptism is more than a sign of our belief. It means the Holy Spirit works faith in the individual’s heart, and God promises His steadfast love. Through the waters of Baptism, God calls us His beloved and redeemed people.
For this reason, we believe adults, children, and infants can all be baptized and receive God’s promise of faith, forgiveness, and life everlasting! We believe God’s Word includes the command to baptize individuals of all ages when Jesus commanded in Matthew 28:19, “Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
If you want to be baptized or you have a child that you want to be baptized, please call the church office at 281-242-7711 and check that the date is available before making any plans with your family.
Next, contact the pastor you want to do the Baptism and see if he is available on your planned date.
Baptisms can occur at either the 8:30 AM or 11:00 AM Worship Services.
The church office will email you a form to complete and return. As soon as the form is received, the date will be reserved. Since we try only to do one baptism at each service, we will reserve on a first-come-first-serve basis.
We believe that marriage is a holy and sacred gift from God, so it is our intent that members approach marriage according to Biblical standards, in a way that is pleasing to God.
We believe that marriage is a sacred union of one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24-25), and that God gave marriage as a picture of the relationship between Christ and His bride, the Church (Ephesians 5:32).
Our Pastor(s) will not officiate over any marriages inconsistent with these beliefs and our church property may not be used for any marriage ceremony, reception, or other activity that would be inconsistent with our beliefs and this policy.
If you want to hold a wedding at our church, please call the church office at 281-242-7711 and check that the date is available before making any plans with your family. Next, contact the pastor you want to perform the ceremony and see if he is available on the date that you have planned.
Wedding guidelines and forms can be obtained from the church office.
Our Pastor(s) will require pre-marital counseling before the wedding takes place. Please contact the pastor you wish to perform the ceremony for his requirements.
