WHO ARE WE?
Advent Lutheran
We are a community of believers, diverse in background but one in Christ, sharing and teaching the good news of Jesus Christ to all people!We believe God has called us to make a positive difference in the world and to wrap others up with the Lord's love and wholeness. We are not perfect, but strive to grow, to forgive, share generously, delight in seeing God everyday, invite others to see and know the Lord, stand up to do the right thing despite the consequences, and serve others - especially those hurting or in need.
