OUR MISSION
Grace Lutheran Church is called by God:
to build a loving and caring community;
to share the good news of Jesus Christ;
to make a difference by serving our neighbors and the world.
OUR NAME
The name Grace:
honors the great love God has for all people in the gift of his son, Jesus Christ.
God showers grace upon His people each day through:
the gift of the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion whereby God calls and strengthens those whom he makes his own;
the forgiveness of sins;
the mutual conversation and consolation of the faithful through prayer.
Each day we learn that we are not alone , nor need we rely only on our own small resources for life,
for we are surrounded by the love of God in Christ Jesus.
OUR VISION
GRACE: Faith on the Move
