CHRIST-CENTERED

We are all sinners in need of salvation. Jesus Christ came to win our forgiveness and life through His death and resurrection.

HISTORIC WORSHIP

We don’t do traditional worship, nor do we do contemporary worship.  We just worship.  We don’t believe church services are a product churches can sell; rather, services are where God gives us what we need.  So we join in doing what Christians have historically done: worship.

POWERFULLY BIBLICAL

We believe the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God, and that it is also clear, sufficient, and powerful to work faith in our hearts.

COMFORTING SERMONS

There’s nothing more comforting, or relevant, than forgiveness.  Our pastor applies the Word of God to our lives by preaching the Law (for repentance) and the Gospel (for forgiveness).

Yesterday and today our church was led through som Yesterday and today our church was led through some analysis of strengths, weakness, and opportunities to help us develop a multi-year plan. We are so thankful to our Synod's home mission counselor, Rev. Brad Kerkow, for guiding us through this. 

Now, our council will meet next month to fine tune the plan with specific short-term plans, for approval at a congregational assembly to happen this summer.

The altar superfrontal has the traditional flowers for Christmas and Easter: A Messianic Rose is embroidered in the center, with vines stretching outward growing Easter Lilies. 
The Messianic Rose is referred to in Isaiah where Isaiah says that the desert shall blossom as the Rose at the coming of the Kingdom of Righteousness. The Rose, a symbol that dates to the 13th Century, is frequently found in Gothic Architecture. In Song of Solomon 2:1, the Bride of Christ, the Church, is compared to “a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.” The blooming of lilies in spring reminds us of the new life granted to the Bride of Christ through our Baptism into Christ’s death and resurrection.

  Thank you so much to you and your congregation for hosting the Bethany Lutheran College Chamber Orchestra over Spring Break!
