Faith Grows - Our Mission

Faith Grows!

Follow Jesus:            

FAITH GROWS! calls us first and foremost to follow Jesus, our Good Shepherd. He calls us by name, first in Holy Baptism, and again and again through His Word, so that we might know His voice and follow Him in trust and obedience. We believe that God calls us to follow Jesus in every aspect of our lives. We seek through our ministry to equip people for a life of following Jesus and to support them through every stage of it.

Announce the Gospel: 

FAITH GROWS! is our mission statement, but we know that it is only God who can do that kind of growing. Romans 10:17 promises that whenever and wherever we announce the Gospel, the Holy Spirit is at work to create, sustain, and grow faith in Jesus Christ, a promise which calls us to hear His Word and to proclaim it every chance we get. At Faith Lutheran Church we believe the underlying purpose of everything we do, from worship to education to counseling, is to announce the Gospel.

Invite all people:         

FAITH GROWS! is not only, or even chiefly, a concern for the health and strength of Faith Lutheran Church, it is the chief task of God’s kingdom. God wants faith to grow in all people. He sends us out as His messengers to extend that invitation to those who do not know Him or trust Him. A church must never exist for the sake of its members, but always see itself as a mission outpost, seeking the lost and inviting sinners.

Teach Christ truth: 

FAITH GROWS! includes not only a concern that we believe, but also a deep concern for what we believe. Since the time of Jesus, discerning whether teachings about Him are true or false has been an essential task and is no less important today. We are called to learn the faith as deeply and accurately as we can. At Faith Lutheran Church we are committed to teaching Christian truth with theological integrity and in accordance with the Lutheran Confessions.

Help all who are in need:

FAITH GROWS! mostly concerns spiritual issues: forgiveness, faith, resurrection from the dead, eternal life. But that does not mean God is unconcerned with the physical wellbeing of His creatures. God created this world and remains deeply invested in it. At Faith Lutheran we are committed to expressing the love of God in actions, as well as words, showing and speaking the goodness of Jesus Christ.
