St.
James Evangelical Lutheran Church is a congregation of believers in Jesus Christ -- a
people set apart by God for His purposes! As God's servant people we shall:
WORSHIP GOD - gathering
together in a spirit of praise and thanksgiving as brothers and sisters in Christ.
LEARN AND TEACH - providing
interpretation of Holy Scripture and its application to daily life.
RECEIVE - being
forgiven of our sins and nourished in faith through Word and Sacrament.
SHARE - expressing our
Christian Love by giving our time, talents and material blessings as we are blessed.
FORGIVE - forgiving
others as Christ forgives us when our faith falters and temptation overcomes us.
MINISTER - serving the
needy of spirit with Christian love and understanding.
WITNESS - proclaiming
and sharing the good news of the Gospel in word and deed reaching out to lead others to
faith in Jesus Christ.
Together as one body in Christ, we shall provide facilities, resources and manpower
to accomplish these things which our Lord has commanded. Guided by His Holy Spirit we will
be strengthened in faith and led to serve others in our homes, our church, our community
and throughout the world. |
