“God sends us out to connect all generations to Christ and Community.”Gloria Dei Lutheran Church understands itself to be a community of faith engaged in shared ministry to one another and the world. Welcoming & Accepting: We strive to welcome all, meeting people where they are, respectfully embracing both the differences and the gifts that come with living into a community of faith. Christ Centered & Grace Filled: Our life together, as well as our outreach, comes from a Lutheran accent centered in God’s unconditional love and grace, as well as, the example of Jesus Christ. Externally Focused & Internally Supportive: We commit to use our individual gifts to serve and support one another, the church and our community (locally, nationally and globally). Socially Conscious & Compassionate: We strive to remain aware of the world around us and to respond with openness and compassion. Responsible & Accountable: We seek to grow in discipleship and faithful response to the needs of each other and the community we serve by being accountable and transparent in our actions. |
