  Free Lutheran Congregations since 1897. The first principle says
  "According to the Word of God, the congregation is the right form of the
  Kingdom of God on earth." This study will help in understanding the
  congregation's role in ministry and help plan the congregation's mission
  and vision.
For children and teens: 9:45 am. The curriculum consists of studying
  God's Word, the Catechism, memory work, activities, service projects
  and music.
 
Please call Pastor James and Pastor Dean with prayer requests and to set up a visit.
