WHO WE ARE

OUR MISSION

Love God, Serve Others, Show the Way

OUR VISION

To reach out and serve so that all may come to know the love of God and the forgiveness of Jesus Christ.

OUR VALUES

All are welcome to join the worship of the Lord in the Lutheran tradition. We invite you to come and see. When you come into this space, we wish for you to feel at home with loving friends and neighbors, to find your path to discipleship in Christ, and to grow in love of the Lord.

OUR HISTORY

SMALL BEGINNINGS

This church was built in 1958 when there was nothing here but farmland. Our first pastor went door to door asking if there was any interest in a Lutheran Church in the area. Once a few people put their hearts, minds and hands together, their dedication bought this land we steward; and over the years the church became a place where families grew up together. Our fellowship together through congregational and community events and activities is gaining momentum each week.
