Finding Connection – In Christ, we are one Body. We strive to foster meaningful
relationships both with God and with a diverse body of believers.
Experiencing Grace – In the tradition of Martin Luther we recognize that we can
only be saved by the gift of God that we do not deserve but that is lovingly given
to us. Our community understands that receiving God’s grace frees us to live out of love for God’s world.
Serving God’s World – We are called by the Holy Spirit to use the gifts, talents,
and resources in our own lives and in our community of faith to serve the world in which we live. We seek to do this work locally and globally by building
partnerships and cultivating relationships with those we serve.
Celebrating Life – A life in Christ is a life of abundance, joy, and forgiveness. We
celebrate this life as Christ celebrated when he walked among us. The spirit of
celebration is evident in our worship, in our fellowship, in our witness, and in our
serving.
