Messiah Lutheran Church
Worship God. Grow in Faith. Love our neighbors.
About Us
We are a community of disciples who are eager to grow in the Word and to find ways of living out and sharing our faith in works of charity and times of fellowship and prayer. The center of our lives is worship. There, everything flows from God to us and from us (we hope and pray) to our neighbors. We believe that Jesus Christ is Lord, risen from the dead and that he continues to call disciples to follow him in his Spirit-empowered mission.
