The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Our Saviour

If you’re new to the area, or looking for a new “home” after having been gone awhile, we invite you to spend a few minutes getting to know us. We don’t profess to have all the answers. We do ask questions and seek answers, and explore what faith and life together have to offer. Along the way, we share our faith, talents, and energy with each other, and our community. And more often than not, we have great fun doing it! Questions or Comments? Check out our contacts to help find the person or group who best suits your needs.

Our Heritage

Our Mission

With the help of the Holy Spirit, the congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Our Saviour is in mission to be a welcoming haven of hope where all people can grow in faith, proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ and return God’s gifts through service to the community and the world.

Nice words, but what do they mean?

• We work hard to be a welcoming community. We understand that trying to make a connection with a new church can be an intimidating experience, especially if you were raised or educated in a different faith. There’s no reason that it should be so, and we’ll do everything we can to make your visit a comfortable experience. In everything we do we try to keep the experience of the first-time visitor in mind. For more information, please be sure to check out our contacts.
• We work hard to be a teaching congregation. All of us have had different experiences in faith and life. We try to learn from each other to grow in our faith, and to actively use our faith as a means to deal with all that life offers, good and bad.
• We work hard to proclaim the “good news”. We view Christ’s gifts and message as positive and joyful, and wish to share that joy with others.
• We share our gifts in service to ourselves, our community, and the world. We don’t see “share” and “service” as burdens and obligations. In his letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul wrote “to each is given the manifestation of the Holy Spirit for the common good.” In simple terms, this means we all have gifts, talents, and passions that we are meant to share with each other, and we are doing God’s work when we do so. We have learned that sharing our gifts and talents is a source of great joy and satisfaction (a few of us have even used the “fun” word!). We work hard to support all the members of our community as they create new ways to share their gifts.
