2 Peter 3:18

The above Bible verse, along with our vision statement — Gather, Grow, and Go in Grace — inspires us and what we do here at Grace Lutheran.

Whether you are a long-time member of Grace Lutheran or a first-time visitor, and no matter from where you are coming, we recognize God equally loves and equally values all God’s people. God has given special talents and gifts to you and every person who enters through our doors.

GATHER GROW GO

We GATHER throughout the week as a community of God’s people in a welcoming and friendly environment to establish and nurture caring relationships.

We strive to GROW in our faith in many different ways, to learn and see how God is and can be present and active in our world and in each of our lives.

Then we GO into God’s world to live whole and joyous lives, and to serve God and God’s holy kingdom as followers of the way of Christ.

I invite you to come and experience God’s for you and for the world at Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church!

In Christ,

Pastor Clay R. Salmela
