Our Mission

"Living and Sharing God's Love Through Christ."

We are a collection of everyday people who gather to worship, study, play and
grow together in the name of Jesus Christ. For it is Jesus who takes us as sinners
and turns us into saints. This we believe with all our faith.


We are a people unified in purpose, yet diverse in character. We have been called to this particular congregation, Faith Lutheran Church, at this particular place and time.


As a church, we pledge ourselves to support those in time of need, celebrate with those in time of gladness, encourage responsible stewardship, promote justice and peace in society and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ.

How do Lutherans View Sin?

Lutherans believe that all people live in a condition which is the result of misused freedom. "Sin" describes not so much individual acts of wrongdoing as fractured relationships between the people of creation and God. Our every attempt to please God falls short of the mark. By the standard of the Law, of which the Ten Commandments are a classic summary, God expresses his just and loving expectations for creation, and our failure to live up to those expectations reveals only our need for God's mercy and forgiveness.
