Welcome to Christ Risen Lutheran Church! Divine Service is every Sunday @ 10:30 am. We are a confessional Lutheran congregation serving the communities of Kanata and Stittsville in Ottawa’s West End. We believe the Bible is the Word of God. We confess The Three Ecumenical Creeds: The Apostles’ Creed, Nicene Creed, and Athanasian Creed. We subscribe to the Book of Concord (1580). Christ Risen Lutheran Church is a member congregation of Lutheran Church—Canada. If you are visiting from a sister congregation and wish to receive communion, we ask that you kindly reach out beforehand to speak with our pastor. Guests may come for a blessing. For our first time visitors, our worship service follows an order of service laid out in our hymnal, the Lutheran Service Book. All are welcome.

The Canadian Lutheran featured a tribute to Christ Risen's long-time organist and choir director, Eloise Schaan, who was called to glory on August 25th, 2026. Also mentioned is Eloise's history as a church musician prior to moving to Kanata and her many contributions to the Lutheran Women's Missionary League (LWML).

Rev. Larry Beane, Pastor of Salem Lutheran Church (LCMS) in Gretna, Louisiana, visited Christ Risen in June and wrote a brief account for his blog at Gottesdienst: The Journal of Lutheran Liturgy.

The Church commemorates …

Cyprian of Carthage on September 16th. The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod document of Commemoration Biographies describes Cyprian of Carthage as follows: Cyprian (A.D. ca. 200–258), was acclaimed bishop of the north African city in Carthage around 248. During the persecution of the roman Emperor Decius, Cyprian fled Carthage but returned two years later. He was then forced to deal with the problem of Christians who had lapsed from their faith under persecution and now wanted to return to the Church. It was decided that these lapsed Christians could be restored but that their restoration could take place only after a period of penance that demonstrated their faithfulness. During the persecution under Emperor Valerian, Cyprian at first went into hiding but later gave himself up to the authorities. He was beheaded for the faith in Carthage in the year 258.
