the mission and vision at OUR CHURCH

Mission and Vision:
1. To grow spiritually in our relationship with God.

As the Spirit opens our hearts to the wonder of God's love for the world, we are nourished by Word and Sacrament and sent to encourage others along the way. Together, God is building relationships of trust and forgiveness with each other.

2. To accept and welcome all people into our community.

We are servants of the Word. Gathered for worship, we are equipped by the Holy Spirit to be the Body of Christ in the world. We will equip and encourage each other in our lifelong journey as disciples of Jesus. 

3. To equip disciples for outreach and intentional action, confident in a distinctively Lutheran identity.

We offer our hands to prayerfully do God’s work in the world. We strive to engage the world, reflecting the light of Christ and the love of God among the least, the lost, and the forgotten.


Our Hope:

As God's people, we aim to demonstrate God's love and respect for all persons, to serve the community and world, and to remain a vibrant and welcoming center of Lutheran worship!
