Faith Lutheran Church is a congregation in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). We are united together in the love of Christ, seeking to share that love with one another and with the world.
WORSHIP
Every Sunday we worship at 10 am with Holy Communion. All are welcome!
EDUCATION
We have Christian education classes September through May, on Sundays at 9 am. There are educational offerings for children and youth (preschool through high school) and adult education.
OUR MISSION
"Faith Lutheran Church is dedicated to showing the love of Jesus to the
world through the sharing of God's gracious gifts with our community and the world."
WHAT WE BELIEVE
We believe that God sent His only Son, Jesus Christ, into the world in order to forgive our sins. By dying to save us, Jesus reconciles us with God, not because we have earned God's love but because He is gracious towards us. We believe that just as Christ was raised from the dead, so too shall we be raised to new life through God's grace.
We believe in the authority of the Holy Bible, and that the Apostle's and Nicene Creeds and the Lutheran Confessions are faithful interpretations of the Christian scriptures.
