First Evangelical Lutheran Church's Mission Statement

We, the congregation of First Lutheran Church,

proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ

through Word and Sacrament,

calling people to new life and discipleship.

We grow in faith, hope and love

as a community of believers

through worship, prayer and study.

We serve people in need

by sharing God's love

in our community and throughout the world
