Pastoral & Spiritual Care
Please contact our Pastoral Leadership should you require pastoral or spiritual care at any time.
As Christians, we live our lives in connection to God, one another, and the cosmos while experiencing the human realities of needs, desires, goals, and hopes including wholeness and fulfillment.
Pastoral and Spiritual Care is something that may be experienced routinely within our everyday life, during life passages (such as illness, marriage, and death), and at times of life-disruptions and crisis. Pastoral and Spiritual Care occurs within daily interactions with those who accompany us along our journeys of faith, join us in worship attendance and share in the Sacraments, provide support through presence, listening, and prayer, as witnesses to the abiding presence of God and His love at all times and in all places.

By God's grace, mercy, and love, we are part of the body of Christ and the Church catholic. As a Lutheran Church, we journey by faith and trust in God's promises of forgiveness and salvation in Jesus Christ. Through preaching and the Sacraments, the Holy Spirit creates and sustains our faith. Through our baptisms, we are fully united to Christ Jesus, freed from Sin and death, and empowered by the Holy Spirit to live lives of faith within this community, and the world, as servants of Christ and in loving and generous service to others (2 Corinthians 5:17-18). Living out our faith through Christ, we share in the fullness of human life - the mysteries and paradoxes, human limitations and failings, joys and celebrations, and the uncertainties and sufferings.
We pray that God's grace, love, generosity, and spirit of reconciliation and peace flow through us
into the life of the world as we share in Christ's ministry within this Parish, our communities, and the world.
