Mission, Value, Beliefs
Our Mission
We are an intergenerational church committed to love God, love others, and serve the world. Together, we are called to join in God’s mission of reconciling all things back to him and raise up a new generation of leaders to love, serve, and know Jesus. We believe being a missional community is not merely something we are called to do, rather it is who we are called to be.
Our Values
Love God
Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
Matthew 22:37
Love Others
And the second is like it: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:39
Serve the World
The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
Matthew 25:40
Our Beliefs
The Trinity
We believe in the Triune God (Matthew 28:19, 2 Corinthians 13:14)
• The Father, Creator of all that exists (Genesis 1:1, Hebrews 11:3);
• Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over sin, death, and the devil (1Timothy 1:15, 1 John 2:2)
• The Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and the Sacraments (1Corinthians 12:3, John 3:5)
Faith
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him (Ephesians 2:8, John 3:16)
Grace
God loves all people, even though sinful, rebellious, and undeserving of His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly (Romans 5:6, Titus 3:4-7)
Christ
There is by no other name or way where sins can be forgiven, our relationship with God restored, and eternal life given other than Jesus Christ alone (John 14:6, Acts 4:12, John 3:36).
Scripture
The Bible is God’s inspired and flawless Word; it reveals both law and gospel; it points us to the only Savior of the world —Jesus Christ—and is the sole rule, norm, and authority for Christian life. We believe the Word of God— the Word (Jesus Christ), the proclaimed Word (the Gospel), and the Written Word (the Bible)—is the source and authority for our life of faith (Romans 10:17, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Timothy 3:16).
Denomination & Affiliation
We are Lutheran and affiliated with the LCMC (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ). It is a privilege to proclaim the grace and truth of Jesus Christ in a world that is grace starved. Most importantly, we are a Christian Church assembled to worship and follow Jesus Christ.
