Invite, Care, Grow, Share!

Messiah's vision is to INVITE people to faith, to CARE for each other with love, to help one another GROW in faith, and to SHARE our gifts with others. 

Our Christian Call:                                                

The people of Messiah Lutheran Church have adopted and fully support their Mission Statement.  It was formed to better identify who we are, what we believe, and what we can accomplish as a church family.  Our Messiah Mission Statement reads:

We believe in Jesus Christ, who died and was raised for us.  Through Baptism we are called to grow in Christ and to proclaim him in word and deed.  We gather in worship to celebrate God's grace, love, and forgiveness.  In the power of the Holy Spirit we use the gifts that God has given us for the sake of each other, our communities, and the world.

God's call includes blessings and promises from God, which create faith and obedience in His servant people.  It is our mission to serve God and to be a channel of God's blessings to others.  God calls us into existence as a community of people (church) of God, through Baptism given by God out of love for us.  Our faith has been kindled in us by the Holy Spirit.  Our faith is not a sign of our moral superiority, but rather of God's generosity.  We do fall, continually, because of our lack of faith, and our ignorance, worldliness, and pride.  Yet Christ does not desert us.  Instead, he always calls us back into our faith relationship to be a blessing to others.  We believe it is God's desire to work through his people - the church - to offer His message of hope and forgiveness.
