"But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." (Ephesians 2:4-5) Join us Sunday morning and see what that means for you and your family.
Plan Your VisitHi, my name is Pastor Justin Wixon and I am the pastor at Alive in Christ Church Lutheran. We meet up at Marana Middle School in Marana, Arizona we invite you, so much, to come to join us for service 9:00 on Sundays. We'd love to have you. I will even tell you this. Go to church. Just go to church. Come to understand the truth of Christ. Ask questions. That's if that is not our church, awesome. But if whatever church it is, go to a local church and start understanding the truth of God. God's blessings to you.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a denomination that confesses the historic, orthodox Christian faith, a faith built on “the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone” (Eph. 2:20). The LCMS, headquartered in St. Louis, Mo., is mission-oriented and Bible-based. LCMS doctrine reflects the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther, as summarized in The Book of Concord: The Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Tanque Verde has a character all its own, with a quieter, more rural feel along the eastern edge of Tucson and the Santa Catalina Mountains nearby. The area’s name comes from the Spanish phrase for “green tank,” referring to the natural water sources that once made this part of the desert especially valuable to early settlers and ranchers. Alive in Christ meets in Marana, but we welcome the opportunity to connect with people from Tanque Verde and communities throughout the greater Tucson area. Our congregation gathers at Marana Middle School for worship, where we come together around the Word and Sacraments and the promise of God’s grace in Christ. If you live in Tanque Verde, we would love to have you join us!
