We Are Lutherans
Three Crosses
First and foremost we are Christians - from a Lutheran perspective!  What does this mean?  We emphasize:

  • GRACE  We cannot earn God's love, it is a freely given gift

  • FAITH  A faith relationship with Jesus Christ assures us of God's forgiveness

  • WORSHIP  When we worship, when we receive Holy Communion, we are strengthened for daily faith and life

  • WELCOME  All of God's diverse children are welcome here

  • GROWTH  In response to God's love, we strive to grow in faith and trust

  • SERVICE  We are called to use our resources to care for the needs of others

  • MINISTRY OF ALL  In baptism, we are all made ministers of Christ, a call lived out in daily life


The First Lutheran Vision

bullet

We will proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ, especially to those outside our church.   By being faithful to God’s Word and Lutheran doctrine, through a strong and progressive emphasis in worship on Word and Sacrament, music, the arts, and technology, and with a heart for outreach and evangelism, we can, and will reach new generations for Christ.

bullet


We will care for one another in Christian love.  Through expanded caring, visitation, hospitality, fellowship and small group ministry, everyone, young or old, member or non-member alike, will be welcomed, supported, and nurtured as a meaningful part of this church and the Body of Christ.

bullet


We will strengthen Christian Education for all.  Christian growth through learning is fundamental.  No matter one's age or situation in life, we will partner with all on their journey toward a deepening of their faith. 

bullet


We will continue to develop Youth and Family ministry. For our children to stay in the faith as servants of Christ throughout their lives, they must be supported and nurtured, not only by their church family, but at home as well. 

bullet


We will become better stewards.  Through prayer and learning, we will seek to grow in the sharing of our time, talent, and treasure in service to God and others.

bullet


We will grow where God has planted us by...

...addressing property maintenance concerns, accessibility issues, and additional space needed for worship, education, youth ministry, administration, and parking.

...seeking new opportunities to be in shared ministry with Good Shepherd Lutheran Home, Dana College, Memorial Community Hospital, the Nebraska Synod, the ELCA, and others.

...beginning a new congregation someday.
