Our name "Gloria Dei" means "Glory to God !" The congregation had its first meeting in February 98' and averages about 55 people each Sunday. The varied religious backgrounds of worshippers, most of whom are Lutheran, bring to the church's life a rich source of inspiration and talent. Our worship is warm and friendly, with the order easy to follow, highlighted with relevant preaching, singing, prayer, and Holy Communion. We support several mission projects in the local St. Louis area, as well as other overseas Christian ministries. We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God and is the authoritative source and norm for Christian faith and practice. We welcome all persons regardless of race, color, political persuasion, religious preference or none, to worship with us.
