Who We Are
First Lutheran Church is a community gathered around Word and Sacrament, gathered to grow together in faith. We are a Christ-centered church and are interested in growing in numbers as we deepen our personal relationship with God. Mission As faithful disciples we serve God and welcome all people with open hearts. Vision We, as members of First Lutheran, glorify God in all of life, with the Bible as our authority and the Holy Spirit as our guide. We pledge to minister to all, loving as Christ loved us. We will seek out new avenues to spread the good news, to build relationships with our fellow believers, as well as those who have yet to believe. |
What We Believe
First Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and a member of the Northwest Minnesota Synod. This congregation affirms the confession of faith of the ELCA, which accepts the canonical scriptures as the inspired Word of God and as the source and norm of our proclamation, faith and life. We subscribe to the Nicene, Apostles’ and Athanasian Creeds as declarations of the Christian faith and to the Lutheran Confessions.
The Larger Church (ELCA)
The ELCA is an engaged, active body of people who put their faith in God into action — in millions of ways, all over the world. More than 4.5 million consider themselves members of over 10,000 ELCA congregations. Quality education is important, and the ELCA has eight seminaries, 26 colleges and an assortment of elementary, high school and lifelong learning centers in the United States. Providing help – both by the work of its people and through financial support – the ELCA seeks each day to proclaim the love of God and make the world a better place to live.
We Welcome You

We invite you to worship with us and explore whether First Lutheran might be a good fit for you!
