OUR BELIEFS
WHO WE ARE
We are one of the almost 10,000 congregations that make up the ELCA across the United States, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands. ELCA congregations are centers for evangelical mission, where people of faith celebrate, learn and connect with one another and others around the world through service and weekly worship. We are a church that belongs to Christ. We are a church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior of all, and that he died and rose again so that all people might have relationship with God and each other forever (John 3:16-17). We believe in the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We believe that all people are created in the image of God, and just as Christ welcomed all, we as His church are accepting of all people. We believe that God equips all baptized Christians with unique gifts for ministry and calls us all into action to serve one another (1 Corinthians 12:7).
CHRIST CALLS US AS HIS CHURCH TO:

CHRIST CALLS US AS HIS CHURCH TO:
- Worship: Know and experience God as a community through receiving His Word and Sacraments (Holy Communion and Baptism) and respond to God with praise and thanksgiving.
- Education: Grow deeper in our relationship with God and live as His disciples.
- Outreach: Participate in God’s ongoing mission, in our community and in the world, of healing, salvation and restoration begun through Jesus Christ.
OUR CORE VALUES
- Jesus Christ is the focus; we are not about buildings or structures, but always about the people of God gathered around Word and Sacrament (Worship), Faith Formation, and Outreach.
- We are a congregation for and about the community and not about ourselves.
- We are a congregation dedicated to making a difference locally and in the world in which we live.
- We are a congregation leading others into active ministry.
- Sunday is a day of Sabbath, focused on worship and family.
- We are a congregation always in transition.
