Our mission
Growing. Embracing. Sharing.
All with God’s love.
Faith through words and acts of compassion.
What we believe
God’s love is for all people.
We believe God’s grace—God’s unfathomable love—is available to all people as a gift through Jesus Christ. Questions and doubts are welcome.
Who is God?
God is the creator of the world; the giver of life; the source of wholeness, healing, and forgiveness; the champion of the poor and oppressed; and the power of new life and resurrection. Christians know God as the Holy Trinity—one God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We know about God through the witness of Scripture and especially through Jesus Christ, who embodied God’s love for humanity. Grace is a gift, given through Christ and received by faith.
What is the good news?
God came to us in Jesus Christ, truly human, humble, and vulnerable. Jesus lived among us and demonstrated the good news in all he was and did.
The gospel is the promise that God loves and saves us by grace alone. Set free by that grace, we are called to love and serve all people, particularly those who are vulnerable.
Does LMC welcome and include everyone?
Yes. All are welcome with their whole selves, including one’s race, ethnic background, past wrongdoing, socioeconomic status, gender identity, sexual orientation, physical ability, and legal status.
God’s love compels us to stand against injustice, prejudice, systemic oppression, and anything that harms or divides. We remain committed to honest self-examination, reconciliation, restoration, justice, and peace.
You are welcome here with your whole self.
It does not matter if your life is imperfect, your history is complicated, or others have told you that you are not good enough. God loves you.
