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
3F - Faith, Family, and Friendship is a new opportunity for kids to learn about God with their friends and family! We will gather as families for a FREE meal at 5:30 on Tuesday evenings, followed by a time of learning about the Bible, doing crafts and other activities, and singing songs for the Lord! We will meet every week in the Fellowship Hall of Faith Lutheran Church, beginning on Tuesday, September 14th. The experience is designed for families with children in Kindergarten through 6th grade. Call Pastor Seth for more at (406) 676-2721 or email him at rev.sethnelson@gmail.com.
406 Church is the name of our high school youth group. The name “406 Church” reflects where we live (Montana) and where we meet (406 5th Ave SW in Ronan). At 406 Church, we learn about Christianity and what it means to be a young person of faith in our world. We discuss questions including; “Why is faith important?”; “Who was Jesus and why does he matter today?”; “What is baptism and why is it important to be baptized?”; “What goes on in communion and why do we still practice it?”; “How is the Bible relevant in today’s world?” The world that God has made around is full of big questions with significant meaning and truth behind them. At 406 Church, we will engage these questions and discuss what God is trying to teach us and where God is leading us.
We have Bible Study classes for adults on Sundays at 9 am and are studying 1 Corinthians this fall (2021).
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.
