ALLELUIA! LUTHERAN CHURCH has grown alongside our surrounding community! Alleluia! started in the gym of Springbrook Elementary School in Naperville in 1993 as a mission of Naperville's Our Saviour's Lutheran Church to serve the rapidly expanding communities of south Naperville and beyond. The first stage of construction of a dedicated Alleluia! building began in October 1994. A second stage of construction was completed in 2002, and the third and final stage was completed in August 2008. From day one, the vision of Alleluia! was to be a Christ-centered and welcoming community, embracing and sharing God's grace, hope, and unconditional love.
Alleluia! Lutheran Church is a member of the Chicago-based Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The ELCA has a rich history of seeking to love God and neighbor that reaches back to the 16th century during the Reformation, led by Martin Luther. Alleluia! is a member of the Northern Illinois Synod, one of 65 synods within the ELCA. Partnering with our synod allows us to foster relationships with other local ELCA congregations to best serve our communities.
LITTLE BLESSINGS PRESCHOOL is a ministry of Alleluia! and opened its doors in September 1996. It is a state licensed not-for-profit facility offering preschool, prekindergarten, a twos program, enrichment opportunities, and early- and after-care options. The facility includes classrooms, two large indoor playrooms, a well-equipped playground, and the Garden of Thanks outdoor classroom.
COME! Our life is centered in the worship of God as revealed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The Holy Spirit gathers us together to worship through Word and Sacrament with contemporary worship components. We worship the Living God. When we gather together for worship, God meets us (Matthew 18:20) and he is a real presence among us (Psalm 95).
CONNECT! Christian learning is lifelong and is grounded in God's Word.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we are called to move from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity (Philippians 3:13- 14; Ephesians 4:12-14). God’s Word is our foundation for growing in faith (Isaiah 40:8). We are committed to Small Groups as a way to connect to God and to one another (Acts 2:45-47).
COMMIT! Jesus sends us out to serve others and share the Gospel.
God so loved the world (John 3:16), and calls us to do the same (Matthew 22:39). Jesus was sent to reconcile a lost world to God (Luke 15). We cheerfully give (2 Corinthians 5:17) to God’s mission in the world. We are called to God’s mission in the world (Matthew 28:19), to invite others to know Jesus (John 1:46), and to welcome all (Luke 5:32; Luke 15:2) to build God’s Kingdom.
