WE EXIST TO SERVE THE NEXT ONE GOD SENDS OUR WAY.....
We are a congregation of Lutheran Christians seeking to knit people together in the love of Jesus Christ. The doors of our community are open to all who desire the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
We build community by sharing our celebrations and sorrows and by walking alongside each other through life, in faith. We encounter God in our worship and fellowship, seeing God in our neighbor and hearing God in prayer. We are disciples of Jesus Christ, serving others with humility and living peacefully in the world.
Our congregation began more than seventy years ago in the Oak Knoll School on Hopkins Crossroad. We are a member church of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, firmly connected to the history and tradition that began with Martin Luther in the 16th century. Our community life is consistent with the Reformation movement, meaning that we believe the Holy Scriptures to be the source and norm for all that we do, and that God’s grace in Jesus Christ is the foundation for our faith. We live and love freely in that good news.
Our vision is to reach out to our neighborhood, community and world in love and service. We nurture one another and strengthen each other for our individual ministries and combine our gifts for God’s collective call.
Finally, we seek communion with God. We long for God’s presence and seek God’s guidance for our lives. We help each other to discern God’s activity, and believe that “God works for good in all things with those who love God.”
