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 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, _______________________________________________________________________________________
