A Place for You

GATHER. GROW. GO.
We gather to share God's Word. We grow together in love. We go out to serve our community.

Abiding Savior is a warm, welcoming community serving the North Tonawanda neighborhood for decades. As a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), we are deeply rooted in tradition but focused on the future. Our church centers on God’s grace, thoughtful faith, and extending an inclusive welcome for all.

You are welcome here — just as you are.
We believe that every person is created and loved by God. No matter your background, your experiences with religion, or the questions you may have about faith, you belong here.

Worship with Us
Our services combine cherished traditions with contemporary music. Pastor Meghan leads our worship, delivering messages that connect meaningfully to everyday life. Beyond worship, we love spending time together over coffee and a light meal.

Join us Sundays at 11:00 AM.

Worship & Leadership

Our services blend cherished Lutheran traditions with contemporary music, creating a space where everyone can connect. We celebrate Holy Communion every Sunday, and all are welcome to the table.

Pastor Meghan James has served as our pastor since 2023, bringing passion and authenticity to her ministry. She delivers messages that connect Scripture meaningfully to our everyday lives.

Connect with Pastor Meghan:
She is available for office hours on Thursdays from 9:30 AM – 12:30 PM. Whether you need a listening ear, prayer, or just want to grab a cup of coffee, she is here for you.

Note: We are proud ministry partners with St. Martin Lutheran Church. Pastor Meghan shares her time between our two congregations, allowing us to serve our community together.
