 Faith Community Lutheran is a young congregation, organized in 1979, and now a LutheranCORE Congregation. We are an excited congregation dedicated to providing a "faith community" where youth, singles, families, and elderly can experience the love of Christ. While our theology is solidly Lutheran – believing we are the priesthood of all believers called to go and make disciples. We also believe our worship ought to reflect the diversity of music so many of us love today, along with the richness of the traditional forms. Attendance has steadily grown in the last seven years as Faith Community has eagerly embraced new songs, new liturgies, liturgical dance, clown ministry, worship drama, summer outdoor worship, and weekly communion for all ages. "Come share the spirit!"
Mission Verse: God’s Spirit is on me: He chose me to preach the message of Good News to the poor, sent me to announce pardon of prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind,to set the burdened and battered free, to announce, “This is God’s year to act!”
Luke 4:18-19

 The Common Confession
(The faith statement of LutheranCORE – Coalition for Renewal. Adopted: November 2005) 1) The Lord Jesus Christ
We are people who believe and confess our faith in the Triune God ‐ Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. We trust and believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord. 2) The Gospel of Salvation
We believe and confess that all human beings are sinners, and that sinners are
redeemed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God alone justifies human
beings by faith in Christ – a faith that God creates through the message of the Gospel.
As ambassadors for Christ, God uses us to speak his Word and build His kingdom.
3) The Authority of Scripture
We believe and confess that the Bible is God's revealed Word to us, spoken in Law
and Gospel. The Bible is the final authority for us in all matters of our faith and life.
4) A Common Confession of Faith
We accept and uphold that the Lutheran Confessions reliably guide us as faithful
interpretations of Scripture, and that we share a unity and fellowship in faith with
others among whom the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached and the sacraments are
administered in accordance with the Gospel.
5) The Priesthood of All Believers
We believe and confess that the Holy Spirit makes all who believe in Jesus Christ to
be priests for service to others in Jesus' name, and that God desires to make use of
the spiritual gifts He has given through the priesthood of all believers.
6) Marriage and Family
We believe and confess that the marriage of male and female is an institution created
and blessed by God. From marriage, God forms families to serve as the building
blocks of all human civilization and community. We teach and practice that sexual
activity belongs exclusively within the biblical boundaries of a faithful marriage
between one man and one woman.
7) The Mission and Ministry of the Congregation
We believe and confess that the church is the assembly of believers called and
gathered by God around Word and Sacrament, and that the mission and ministry of
the church is carried out within the context of individual congregations, which are
able to work together locally and globally.
