Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
(John 13:34-35)
ABOUT US
We are a Christian community rooted in the Lutheran tradition, growing together in faith, and loving & serving God, one another, and caring for all of creation.
We belong to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) – one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with nearly 3.3 million members in more than 8,900 worshiping communities across the 50 states and in the Caribbean region.
We recognize that all people are loved and valued by God, and together, we seek to follow the way of Jesus, showing love and compassion for all people. We are a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation, meaning we are welcoming to all people, inclusive of sexual orientation and gender identity.
We invite you to join us as we grow together in faith, through God’s abundant love shown to us through Jesus Christ, and through the ongoing leading of the Holy Spirit.
OUR MISSION STATEMENT: Seek the Lord + Study God’s Word + Serve the World
This is Christ’s church.
There is a place for you here.
We are the 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.
