Marco Lutheran Church Spreads the Word

After Jesus recruited some of his first disciples, he began to preach to them on a mountainside. The Beatitudes are captured in Matthew 5:3-10.They are the blessings Jesus pronounced on the people as the Kingdom of God was arriving at his ministry. These blessings are some of the most important teachings in the Gospel and include a sense of reversals of expectations. As God comes to reign, he will right all wrongs. Everyone who lives to see his rule will be blessed, and his reign will be life-changing for those most in need of mercy and justice.  

Come join us to delve into this gospel to help grow our understanding of the Bible and its blessings. Christian education is the single biggest opportunity to grow the Christian faith. Our Lord calls on us to act as disciples, spread the word and serve others.  

Regularly scheduled Bible Study classes are held throughout the year. Weekly classes are held for Men’s Bible Study, currently studying the book of Matthew, on Tuesdays at 8:30 AM – 9:30AM; Women’s Bible Study, currently studying the Proverbs on Wednesdays at 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM; and Adult Bible Study, which will be studying the Beatitudes starting on January 8, 2026, on Thursdays at 10:00AM- 11:00AM. Classes are led by both Senior Pastor Jim Thelen and congregation members.  

A member of the community for over 50 years, Marco Lutheran Church held its first worship services on Marco Island on May 5, 1974, in the meeting room for the Naples Federal Savings and Loan Association.Since then, Marco Lutheran remains an active member of the community and offers regularly scheduled services and bible study classes. Classes are free to all, and the public is invited to attend any of these events. Marco Lutheran Church is a Servant of the Community. With weekly services on Saturdays (beginning January 3) at 5:00PM and Sundays at 9:30 AM, we look to Jesus to connect with each other, connect with the community, and live the Word.
