Picture

There is a place for all. Everyone matters. 
No Exceptions.

Here at First Lutheran, we take the journey of of faith together, and we discover more, together.
During the coming year, we will be incorporating this theme of discovering more: together — through the website, signage, and how we present the message of Christ to those seeking a church home. We will also incorporate this theme into the worship life for the program year, beginning with stories of discovery from the Old Testament.
