FAITH'S Core Values
Independence: Our teaching will always conform to the truth of God revealed in the Gospel and our practice will be guided by the openness and freedom of God's grace before our commitment to the limitations of tradition and man made rules.
Compassion: Because Christ sacrificed himself for us, we act with genuine care and love as we serve those experiencing spiritual or physical difficulties in their lives.
Outreach: We will go and search for those alone and separated from Christ carrying His message of salvation to all people.
Nurture: We accept people wherever they are in their spiritual journey, help them grow toward spiritual maturity, and equip them for active ministry.
Fellowship: We sense the Holy Spirit at work binding us to each other in profound personal and spiritual relationships.
Biblical Purpose Statement
Faith Lutheran Church responding to God's grace and guided by His Word, acts with genuine care as we search for those who are separated from Christ, carrying His message of salvation and binding all together so that all may grow toward spiritual maturity.
