Ministries
Our mission is; Because of God’s grace, we will prayerfully share the Gospel, through Word and Sacrament, to as many people as possible.
As Christians, serving God involves actively participating in the life of the church and living out one's faith in daily life. Lutheranism is a branch of Protestant Christianity that follows the teachings of Martin Luther, a 16th-century reformer. Lutherans emphasize the importance of grace, faith, and the authority of Scripture.

WORSHIP
We believe in the centrality of worship, where believers come together to praise God, hear His Word, and receive the sacraments. The main sacraments in the Lutheran tradition are Baptism and the Lord's Supper (Holy Communion). Regular attendance and active participation in worship services are encouraged.
BIBLE STUDY
Lutherans hold the Bible as the ultimate authority for matters of faith and practice. Engaging in regular Bible study helps individuals deepen their understanding of God's Word and its relevance to their lives.
PRAYER
Prayer is an essential part of the Christian life. Lutherans believe in the power of prayer as a means of communicating with God, seeking God’s guidance, and expressing gratitude.
SERVICE to
others
Our service team is called The Church Has Left The Building. Serving God includes serving others, both within the church community and in the wider world. Lutherans believe that showing love and compassion to others is an essential expression of their faith. We offer adult mission trips and youth mission trips yearly as well as local mission projects monthly.
involvement in the church community
Active involvement in the life of the church is encouraged. This includes participating in various ministries, volunteering, and supporting the church's activities and outreach efforts.
Emphasizing vocation
We believe that all vocations, whether as a parent, a worker, or a leader, are ways to serve God and others. Therefore, they encourage individuals to faithfully carry out their responsibilities and live out their faith in their daily work and relationships.
sharing the gospel
We emphasize the importance of sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others. This includes evangelism and outreach efforts to bring people to faith in Christ.
seeking forgiveness and reconciliation
Recognizing the reality of human sinfulness, Lutherans emphasize the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness both from God and from one another.
Support for the Church and its Mission
Contributing financially to the church's work and mission is seen as a way of supporting the proclamation of the Gospel and the ministry of the church.
