Looking for a Church (Rapid City, Blackhawk: schools, live, military)

[Smylin]

Hello all,
We are a military familiy finally settling in to Rapid City, SD. We have been here since Oct 08. Now we are looking for a new church to attend. We are Lutheran, and I really miss my old church. It was a very contemporary church and very inviting. We had grown accustomed to singing the songs you hear on everyday Christian radio station and Im not sure if there is anything like that here. We are now trying to find something similar. I have looked at the websites and are looking into a few. We attended church for the first time today and was definately a small town church feel. We are looking for something with alot more enthusiasm. Does anyone have any reccomendations.

There all very comtemporary churches. I'm not sure if they're Lutheran though. I think St. Paul's Lutheran and Zion Lutheran are supposed to be pretty contemporary too. St. Paul's and Zion are both schools too.

We do have several Lutheran churches here in rapid, but the one that I probably like the best is on the west side of town, south canyon Lutheran. I am catholic, but do attend some Lutheran services and the ones at this church are always nice.
Of course the best way to find a church you like is to go attend some services at them. Other Lutheran churches in rapid are:
Calvary Lutheran church, also on the west side
Devine shepherd Lutheran, great small town feel, out in Blackhawk
Zion Lutheran which Danny listed is also a good one.

there are plenty more around town, but these are the major ones that I know of.

As for christen radio stations, we have a good selection offered by Bethesda christen broadcasting.
97.9 The point, modern positive christen music. You can listen to this one online at Positive Hits :: 97.9 The Point
Power 107.3 fm, contemporary christen
And 88.3 christen talk.

We also have a major FREE christen festival every summer in rapid, called hills alive! If you like contemporary christen music, this festival is amazing. it generally gets top acts, last year we had Toby Mac, Switchfoot, and tree 63 to name a few.
