Mission
Contents
Are you looking for us? One of our newest members said of our congregation, "I have been praying that I might find this church. God has answered my prayer."
We are a congregation rooted in the Gospel and in the ancient tradition of the Church, but also a congregation of people determined to live out the love of God with one another and with our community and neighborhood. In addition to our Sunday morning worship, you will want to join us at Bible Study, or during the season of Lent, at worship on Wednesday evenings at 7:15. Several times a year we offer worship in the German language. We are a Reconciling in Christ congregation, welcoming people of every kind. We are also a Luther Memorial Church emphasizing the heritage of Dr. Martin Luther.
You should come and see.
