The mission of First Evangelical Lutheran Church shall be to put Christ first in all things.

 
                                                                                                     

 

Dear Friends:

Our North American Lutheran Church (NALC) embraces four core values which shape our church life in profoundly valuable ways. Those core values are:

Christ-Centered
Mission-Driven
Traditionally-Grounded
Congregationally-Focused

The one listed first certainly deserves that place, in any Christian church! And with our congregational name, this “first” core value is even more meaningful, echoing our mission statement: “First Lutheran Church, Putting Christ First”.

It is now Advent, the season of God-given hope and anticipation. In just two weeks we will celebrate the birth of our Savior! Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and the Christmas Season all immerse us in the mystery and miracle of the Nativity of Our Lord – the Incarnation of God the Son – the birth of the One who is the Word made flesh. In remembering and experiencing His birth through our worship, we ourselves are reborn in a deep, fundamental way. For Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is at the very core of our existence and being.

This is what we mean when we say we are Christ-Centered. It is more than a slogan. It’s more than an emphasis. It is who we are in the depth of our being – both as individual disciples of Christ, and as His Church. And so in the words of a beloved Christmas carol, we pray to Christ Jesus that He will always keep us centered in Him:

“Oh, come to us, abide with us, Our Lord, Immanuel!”

Sincerely in Christ,
