We Are Church Together
As Lutherans, we believe God is calling us into the world - together. We are a congregation of people brought together by the Holy Spirit to do God's work and serve the world. This isn't something we can do alone!
Our local congregation is part of a regional body (the Northeastern Iowa Synod), which is part of a national body (the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America), which is a part of an international body (the Lutheran World Federation), which is a member of the World Council of Churches, which is part of God's one holy, catholic, and apostilic church. Whew!
As a church rooted in Christ, we are called to work together with other churches, ministries, and organizations to serve our neighbors together.
