We are an assembly of those who are gathered by the SPIRIT of the LORD around His saving Word and Sacraments. At the center of our life together is the Divine Service of JESUS CHRIST, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. By His Holy Cross and Resurrection, we are given forgiveness and new life in His Name. We invite you to share with us in these gifts and so to grow in the grace and knowledge of our LORD. Through him, we are called out of darkness and into God's marvelous light.
