What we believe

Our vision is to be a beacon of faith and service in our community.  We strive to become spiritually equipped (and evolving) to participate in fulfilling Christ's mission to the world.

• We are here for you as we serve God, our community, and one another.
• We value our children, your children, and spiritual development and growth for all ages.
• We value music and its contribution to worship--we believe music can transcend all faiths.
• We welcome diversity and we welcome people of all faiths.
• We value our Lutheran heritage and the faith of unconditional love and grace for all.

The ELCA is one of the largest Christian denominations in the U.S., with almost 4 million members in nearly 10,000 congregations nationwide.  We are a church that shares a living, daring confidence in God's grace. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person--questions, complexities and all. Join us as we do God's work in Christ's name for the life of the world.

• We believe in one God who is revealed in three expressions—creator, savior, and sustainer of all life.
• We accept the Bible as the inspired word of God’s love.
• We teach that all persons are estranged from God and we are ultimately saved by God’s grace through faith in Jesus Christ.
• We define the church as the fellowship of believers.  The church is essential to
  Christian life and spiritual growth.
• We celebrate two holy acts as the God-given means for enriching our lives with grace — these are Holy Baptism and Communion.
• We do not live according to a formula of “do’s and don’ts” but in the freedom of God’s love and forgiveness.
