DELIVERING CHRIST JESUS AND HIS GIFTS FOR YOU!
We are gathered by the Holy Spirit to receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ through the means of the Spirit—Preaching, Baptism, Absolution, and the Lord’s Supper. Our mission is to respond with activities that strengthen the Christian faith, including liturgy, prayer, catechesis, spiritual songs, witness, charity, and love for one another.
COMPLETE FORGIVENESS.
TRUE FREEDOM.
RENEWAL OF LIFE.
ETERNAL WISDOM.
