About Grace Lutheran Church LCMS

Welcome to Grace Lutheran Church LCMS, a virtual home church offering a welcoming community for all seeking to deepen their faith and connect with others. Our congregation is committed to fostering spiritual growth and supporting individuals in their journey of discovery and understanding. As a member of the virtual home church community, we invite you to explore our beliefs and core values.

Our Core Values

At Grace Lutheran Church LCMS, we uphold the following core values:

  • Faith: We believe in fostering a personal relationship with God through prayer, worship, and study of the Bible.
  • Inclusivity: We welcome and embrace people of all backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, ensuring an inclusive environment for all.
  • Community: We strive to build a supportive and caring community, providing opportunities for fellowship, growth, and service.
  • Compassion: We are called to show compassion and love to those in need, both within our congregation and in the wider world.
  • Integrity: We are committed to living our lives with honesty, integrity, and ethical values, guided by the teachings of Christ.

Our Teachings

As a congregation, we follow the teachings of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS). Our beliefs are rooted in the Bible and guided by Luther's Small Catechism. We celebrate the sacraments and hold firm to the following key teachings:

Justification by Grace through Faith

We believe that we are justified by God's grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ. It is not our own works that save us, but the unmerited gift of God's love and forgiveness.

The Holy Trinity

We believe in the Holy Trinity - the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. These three distinct persons are one divine being, eternally coexisting and working together for our salvation.

The Authority of Scripture

We affirm the authority and inspiration of the Holy Scriptures, both the Old and New Testaments. The Bible is the infallible Word of God, revealing His will and guiding our lives.

The Means of Grace

We believe in the Means of Grace, which are the ways in which God brings us His grace. The Word of God proclaimed, the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, and the mutual conversation and consolation of the brethren are all means by which God communicates His forgiveness, mercy, and love to us.

The Priesthood of All Believers

We affirm the priesthood of all believers, recognizing that each individual has direct access to God through Jesus Christ. All believers are called to serve God and their neighbors, using the gifts and talents bestowed upon them.

Our Principles

As a virtual home church, we have established the following principles to guide our congregation:

Online Community Building

We believe in the power of online platforms to connect people and build meaningful relationships. Our virtual home church provides a supportive community where individuals can engage in fellowship, share their faith journeys, and support one another.

Digital Worship Experience

Through innovative use of technology, we provide engaging and interactive digital worship experiences. Our online services and resources are designed to inspire, uplift, and deepen spiritual connections.

Accessible Faith Resources

We are committed to making faith resources easily accessible to all. Our website offers various resources like Bible study materials, devotional guides, and educational videos that enable individuals to grow in their faith at their own pace.

Virtual Outreach and Service

While we may be a virtual home church, we actively engage in outreach and service initiatives. Through online volunteering opportunities, charitable donations, and virtual community projects, we strive to make a positive impact in the lives of others and promote social justice.

Join Our Virtual Home Church Community

At Grace Lutheran Church LCMS, we welcome individuals from all walks of life to join our virtual home church community. Whether you are new to faith, seeking spiritual guidance, or looking for a supportive community, we invite you to connect with us.
