All her life Karen had been a member of various faith communities where she had learned Bible stories, church doctrine, and how to be involved in church projects. She was busy attending services and doing “church work” and then Covid happened, and she couldn’t attend church in person. “I quickly realized that I had been involved at church doing good works,” shared Karen, “but I knew that I hadn’t been building my faith.”
Having been part of various faith communities his whole life, either as an ordained or lay leader, Steve knew what he was looking for in a church. He wanted a community that nurtured kids, was inclusive and offered a way to be involved and make a difference in peoples’ lives.
We are Lutheran Christians.
We don't have all the answers.
We do have faith that God's love is for everyone.
We would love to have you join us as we talk about big questions,
strive to serve all people in Jesus' name,
and seek to work for justice and peace in all the world.
We have a drive through Food Distribution program, supplied by the SouthMichigan Food Bank, every month on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays. The distribution starts at 1pm and goes until 3pm or until we run out of food.
On the 1st Thursday of the month, we hold a FreeStore, along with the Food Distribution. Clients are able to pick two items per car of either personal care or household care products.
You may give as a guest without signing in.

Refugee resettlement is on-going and we continue to have needs to support the agencies bringing families to our area. Click on the Refugee needs to see the current needs.
In order to grow in faith as individuals and as a community, we need opportunities to experience God's love and practice following Jesus outside of worship. We get to know one another by sharing our lives and serving others together. We've had to be creative in how we do that safely during a pandemic, but our community has been strengthened by Zoom Bible studies and book discussion groups, outoor service projects like tree planting and gardening and food distribution, and more! We'd love to have you join us.
When we give through the church, we offer to God a portion of what God has first given us: ourselves, our time, and our possessions. Click here to fill in your 2024 stewardship intent card.
As a congregation, we strive to use these gifts to do God's work in the world by feeding the hungry, helping to provide clothing and shelter where it is needed, and working for justice and peace in all the earth.
