Low's Mission Statement:

Low's Lutheran Church seeks to be a visible presence in the community, committed to love and care for each other and the world.  Through Faith in our Lord Jesus, we worship and pray, teach and learn, live and serve.

The ELCA Mission Statement:

Marked with the cross of Christ forever.  We are claimed, gathered, and sent for the sake of the world.

  Pastor John Mark Beam III was called to Low’s in 2013.  Previously he served at St. Enoch Lutheran Church, Kannapolis, beginning in 1999.  A native of Lincoln County, NC, he began his journey of faith at Cedar Grove Lutheran Church, Vale, NC, where he was baptized and confirmed, and later was a member at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Newton, NC, where he experienced his call to ministry.  Pastor John Mark is a graduate of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill with a BA degree in history and political science and a MA in history.  Following several years working with history museums in High Point and Gaston County, he entered Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus, Ohio.  Pastor John Mark served an internship at Abiding Hope Lutheran Church, Littleton, Colorado, and did a study tour of the Holy Land while in seminary.

Pastor John Mark is married to a fellow pastor, Constance Jane Garrett, a native of Springfield, Ohio.  They met in seminary and were married in 1999.

 At Low’s, we strive to offer a loving church family in which you will feel a great sense of belonging as we earnestly seek to become the people that God wants us to be. 

Low’s congregation was organized in 1771. 

The current church building is the fourth and was completed at our bicentennial in 1971.  

 We are blessed with a worship-centric sanctuary complemented by a Casavant pipe organ.

 An extensive education building was completed in 1958 and houses the fellowship hall, classrooms, and church office. 

Worship is liturgical and traditional, and Holy Communion is celebrated.   Our faith is found in the Word of God expressed and interpreted through the three historic creeds of the Church and the Lutheran Confessions. Please come and join us as we grow in faith and grace through the power of the Holy Spirit.

There is just nothing like the sound of a pipe organ.  The music in worship from these pipes awakens our spirit.

Pillow cases were hand made with love and delivered to a church in rural Hawaii.

The Christmas tree is decorated with Chrismons.

 History of the Chrismon Tree 

The Chrismon tree began as an offering to God in the Lutheran Church of the Ascension, 295 West Main Street, in Danville, Virginia, in 1957. God blessed the offering, and it has become a symbol of praise and thanksgiving to Him. Mrs. Harry W. Spencer, the originator of the Chrismons, said, “I realized Christmas was the birthday of the Christ Child. Let us honor the Child, the Person He is.” After many weeks of research, Mrs. Spencer came across some drawings of designs called Chrismons. “Chrismon” (Kriz’mon) is a combination of parts of two words: CHRISt and MONogram. A Chrismon is just that, a monogram of Christ. The sketches found were copies of Chrismons designed and carved or drawn by some of the earliest Christians. The monograms were found in many places – some on jewelry and utensils, others on doors or in catacombs or in buildings. Early Christians used them to identify themselves to one another, to designate meeting places of the church, and sometimes, to show unbelievers where they stood. The designs were quite beautiful and would make lovely tree decorations. Mrs. Spencer said, “It occurred to me that by using these early symbols of our faith to decorate the tree, we would bring out distinctly the real reason we celebrate this day of the year. I hoped such a tree would not only be worthy of being placed in the Lord’s house, but would also contribute to the spirit of worship in this holy seasons.” All Chrismon are made in a combination of white and gold. White, the liturgical color for Christmas, refers to our Lord’s purity and perfection; the gold, to His majesty and glory. The evergreen tree, which symbolizes the eternal life which our Savior has won for us, is background for the tiny white lights. May these lights lead us to Christ— the Light of the world. May the symbols placed on our tree continually remind you of God’s greatest gift to us all, Jesus Christ.
