Welcome to ALC Burbank
Schedule of Gatherings
Join Our Community.
Hybrid Worship Gathering
Join us at 10 am Sundays
Join us for a collaborative, rooted, liturgical, and relevant worship gathering. Christ centers us. We gather. We grow. We go. We worship in-person and online, centering both our "roomers" and "zoomers."
Midweek Bible Study
On Thursdays at 12 pm, we engage in Bible and/or book studies and fellowship led by staff on Zoom.​​
Choir Rehearsal
Thursdays, starting at 7 pm
Choir Rehearsals are in-person and online. The ALC Choir performs each Sunday, except for the 1st Sunday monthly.
Sunday School
Sundays During Worship Gatherings
Children are fully welcomed into our Worship Gatherings. And, during the middle of the service, children are welcome to participate in a children's message and then gather for a 20-25 minute Sunday School program (in the conference room/classroom). Children are walked back into the sanctuary right before Communion.
Youth Group
1st & 3rd Wednesdays in Grace Hall at 6 pm.
Join us for a time of hanging out, games, food, and a brief life/spiritual lesson.
More Than a Church
A Welcoming Church in the Heart of Burbank
American Lutheran Church, a progressive ELCA congregation and Reconciling in Christ community in Burbank, offers folks a chance to become part of something greater--To grow in their love of God and for one another within our beautiful community.
We are rooted in the stories of the Bible and believe worship is something that can be expressed in everything we do. Our philosophy is founded on the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are queer affirming, neurodivergent affirming, and committed to doing the work to be anti-ableist and anti-racist.
ALC Burbank Vision & Mission
In the course of ALC's current transition and discernment process, leadership created a vision and mission statement to guide our steps. We officially voted on it and debuted it on Easter Sunday 2025.
​
Vision:
We are called to be a nurturing community practicing acceptance, hope, love, and service.
Mission:
We (the members of ALC) follow Jesus' actions to be a shepherding force by accepting, embracing, and nurturing all of creation.
