VISION
STATEMENT
Worship
We welcome
a community of believers every week to a dynamic
and vibrant Lutheran worship
experience that
proclaims the Gospel of
Jesus Christ through liturgy, word and
sacrament, engaging
music and Christ centered preaching.
Outreach/Service to Community
We are a people who know we are called by Christ to
reach out to the
community by inviting people to worship,
sharing our faith with others and serving
the needs of the local
community (both physical and spiritual) and
through
global mission.
Discipleship
We are a people who understand our
Lutheran-Christian identity and can explain
it to those around us. We provide spiritual
growth opportunities to enable people to
follow Christ's call to be disciples to all
nations. We are an active
church which is
developing a stronger network of care to
show
God's love welcomes
the community.
Youth and Family
We are a family
that welcomes all people to build a
relationship with Christ. We seek to
support our youth in developing
their
spiritual gifts and stewardship through
education, opportunities and
feedback. We see a youth mentoring program
where Lutherans of all ages come together
with youth to provide
opportunities to share their faith through
relationships.
We envision youth leadership
development as well as
family enrichment through servant leadership
opportunities
within and outside our
community. We actively
engage our youth in discussion and debate
over Christ's teachings and
love. |
