Values
We Deeply Value a Loving Church
Ephesians 4:12-16
We believe God loves and accepts all people, and desires their salvation. He saved all His children through Christ. Faith can be full grown or just beginning. God expects us to share and show his love, invite all His children into the Church, and be witnesses in the Church and community.
We Deeply Value the Lutheran Church Teachings
John 4:23-24
We believe faithful worship services conducted in various formats always includes God’s word, praise, and sacraments, and are acceptable as long as they remain true to the teachings of the LCMS. We acknowledge that various components and forms of worship may be used to communicate the Gospel to new people.
We Deeply Value Our Christ-Centered Relationships Hebrews 10:23-25
We believe fellowship with believers supports our spiritual growth and leads Christians to use their God-given gifts in the service of God, the church, and fellow servants.
We Deeply Value Interaction with God’s Word
2 Timothy 3:16-17
God’s truth is contained and revealed in the scriptures. We hear God’s word in church, through hymns and song, in education and in other opportunities, and we need to take advantage of them as often as possible to receive God’s blessings.
We Deeply Value Well-Maintained Facilities
Hebrews 8:5
We believe having a well-cared for congregational home (buildings, grounds, equipment) in which to worship, study, train, and fellowship is an equally important part of our stewardship. We want it to reflect the glory of the One for whom we worship.
