What We Believe

​

We share a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. For us as a church in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), this faith comes through the good news of Jesus Christ and gives us the freedom and the courage to wonder, discover and boldly participate in what God is up to in the world. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person — questions, complexities and all.

​

As members of the ELCA, we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor. With our hands, we do God’s work of restoring and reconciling communities in Jesus Christ’s name throughout the world.

Core Values

​

We are a church:

​

That belongs to Christ. There is a place for you here.

​

Whose unity is in Jesus Christ, who gathers us around word and water, wine and bread.

​

That believes Jesus is God’s “Yes” to us. Our lives can be a “Yes” to others.

​

That believes God is calling us into the world — together.

​

That rolls up our sleeves and gets to work.

​

That is a catalyst, convener and bridge builder.

​

That is energized by lively engagement in our faith and life.

​

That is deeply rooted — and always being made new.
