Learn Our Values.

At Shepherd of the Sea Lutheran Church, we welcome everyone because God welcomes everyone,

Regardless of your ability, age, ethnicity, gender identity, life circumstances, marital status, race, or sexual orientation,

Whether you are a believer, doubter, or Seeker,

Your diversity and uniqueness are welcome.

We turn away everyone that Jesus turns away,

and Jesus turns away no one.

1

The church exists for those that are not yet members.

We aim to create a friendly and welcoming environment for anyone who wants to learn more about our faith. We exist to spread the message of the Gospel - not to celebrate our own righteousness.

2

We accept all people.

Our church welcomes and accepts individuals at any point in their faith journey. We have faith in God's plan to lead them to their intended destination, according to His timing. We turn away those who Jesus turns away - and Jesus turns away no one.

Christianity is about relationships, not religion.

Authentic Christianity is all about building a relationship with God, rather than just following a set of religious rules. It is important to show care and compassion towards others since this is what truly matters in the eyes of God.

Serve Our Community.

We are thrilled to be able to serve our community through our initiatives. Our food pantry provides essential resources to those in need, while our community lunch brings people together for a delicious meal and great conversation. Additionally, we are proud to sponsor New American refugees and help them feel welcome in their new home.  Our Community Parish Nuse also leads several programs to promote health and wellness.  Come see how you can help with or benefit from these services!
