MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR |
I am privileged to be the Pastor of Christ Lutheran Church.
I am convinced that the people of faith who gather at Christ Lutheran Church are committed to living our mission statement. I see and experience a special kind of love, concern and support for one another as together we journey through life with all of its joys and sorrows.
At Christ Lutheran Church we celebrate the "Good News". We believe we have a God of love and mercy whose nature and will is to accept us no matter what we have done or left undone.
At Christ Lutheran Church we emphasize God's pardon for us because of the atoning sacrifice of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We acknowledge God's love and mercy as we celebrate Jesus' victory over death, God's plan to redeem the whole creation.
We welcome you to join us in worship where we sing praise to God, hear God's word, and celebrate all the gifts God gives us. | |

MEET CHURCH COUNCIL |
The primary role of Christ Lutheran Church council is one of visionary leadership rather than management. Typically, the council assesses where the congregation stands at any moment and where God is calling it to be in the future. The council deals with the resources which will be required to move Christ Lutheran Church from the current reality into the desired reality. To that purpose, the council develops plans and provides an administrative infrastructure to implement them.
