Our congregation is a member of the New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We believe that all people are made right by God's grace and that there are no special deeds or prayers one needs to pray to receive God's grace. It has already been earned by Christ's death and resurrection.  While we are sinners, we trust that through God's work in us, we are forgiven.

We are a congregation-led church, and our members have a lot to say about who we are and where we are going. Our minister works in concert with the church council, committees, lay leaders, worship leaders, and the congregation to provide meaningful worship experiences and discipleship opportunities. As God's hands in the world, we are an active congregation with many ministries beyond our walls. 

An important date in the Lutheran tradition is October 31, 1517, the birth of the Protestant Reformation. It was led by Martin Luther, who believed that salvation was a gift and a sign of God's never ending love, rather than something that had to be earned or bought. The reforms that he proposed, written in the form of the Ninety-five Theses, challenged the existing predominant Roman Catholic beliefs, inadvertently igniting the Protestant Reformation.
