What We Believe

"What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." - A.W. Tozer

 

What We Believe

We are a Lutheran congregation, part of the South Dakota Synod of  the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.

We are a congregation that believes ALL ARE WELCOME.  You are welcome, wherever you are at in your faith journey.  You are welcome, regardless of your age, race, gender, sexual orientation, family structure, or political views.

We are a congregation rooted in God’s love and grace.  God’s love and grace are His ongoing response to the broken world in which we live.  Through His Son’s (Jesus Christ’s) life, death, and resurrection, our sins have been and will continue to be forgiven.  Setting us free to love and serve one another.

We are a congregation that believes God’s love and grace is best experienced together through worship, study, fellowship, and service.  We offer a variety of opportunities for both youth and adults to be a part of our church community.
