We love the beauty and sacredness of the Lutheran liturgy and we infuse it with joy.
A community for all.
While we work to repair our building there will be NO SERVICES at Gloria Dei, the School for Constructive Play has temporarily relocated to The Center of Anna Maria Island.

Vibrant Liturgical Worship
A Place to Make Friends
Everyone is welcome and we really enjoy getting to know each other.
Space to Grow Spiritually
Sermons will make you think and give you an uplifting start to your week.
Don't Go to Church
- If you leave feeling worse about yourself
- If you never build real friendships
- If it doesn’t make you think
- If it’s more concerned with rules than love
- If you can’t wait to leave
- If you’re not excited to go again!
We’re different…come visit us!
What Matters Most to Us
At Gloria Dei, grace is not just a word for us—it’s an experience that defines our community. We celebrate the fact that we’re saved by grace not by rules.
We’re proud to be a Reconciling in Christ congregation that fully affirms and welcomes LGBTQ+ people.

Visit this Weekend
Our service on Sunday morning is always an hour or less. We dress casually and we follow a traditional Lutheran format—singing, Bible readings, prayer, a sermon, and communion.

Stay for
Fellowship Hour
Stick around. After service on Sunday we serve coffee and lots of goodies. And it’s quite the spread! We love to talk and connect with each other.

Get Involved
We have mid-week meetings in the morning and afternoon—monthly projects, helping at the food pantry, serving at the soup kitchen, Movie Monday, book groups, and more.
