Faithfulness is loyalty. Loyalty to our Lord. Loyalty to fellow
human beings. Loyalty to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Lord
calls us to a mission: to serve Him by serving His people and
world in the peace of Christ's love. Our church engages in
many missions, many outreaching services of love. We believe
and know that it is essential in life to push ourselves beyond
our natural boundaries. Humans who instinctively only seek
to preserve themselves need to be called out to go further.
The church in the New Testament, the 'ekklesia' in Greek, means
'the called-out ones.
We seek to be faithful to God by honoring
our name as the church and being 'the called-out ones.' With
the mission
of serving
those especially whose life situations demand that someone
tell them they are not forgotten, our missions in many cases
reach out to people who are hurting. We also are proud to
be part of the 5 million member Evangelical Lutheran Church
in
America and to serve through this national and global Christian
Church. Will you join in these missions and outreaching avenues
of living out our faith together? Will you give your time,
energy and investment to them? Will you sense the fulfillment
of responding to God's call of you and to serve God joyfully
in these ways? View these pages with thankfulness in your
hearts for a church that seeks to be faithful to our good and
gracious
God, the Savior Jesus Christ.
