About us
Worship at Lyall
As the happiest of debtors, we offer praise to God. We are a congregation guided by the scriptures, interpreted by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, the Christ: the Word of God Incarnate. Through praise and worship, we come to understand God, others and ourselves. Through the witness of the Word, we come to understand and embrace our callings as individuals and as a congregation. In other words, God helps us find our voice. Invigorated and inspired, we head out into the week as blessings to the world around us.
History
Lyall Memorial Federated Church was incorporated in 1926, and the sanctuary was dedicated in 1927. Initially, the church was formed as a federation of the Reformed Church in America, the United Methodist Church, and the Society of Friends (Quakers). However, many of us are members of other denominations. One thing that we all claim to be is Christian.
