About Bethany Lutheran Church

1.	Everyone is welcome to experience God's grace. Jesus gladly and joyfully welcomed all people (Luke 15:1-32) and Jesus calls us to do the same. We seek to reach out to the world around us, to search for the lost, and to welcome all. For it is by grace that each of us is saved. (Ephesians 2:8-10).
2.	Jesus is our Lord and Savior. Jesus Christ alone saves (Galatians 2:19-20). Jesus is the way, the truth and the life (John 4:16). Jesus is Lord of our lives and we are not. We know Jesus through his suffering and death on the cross. In our imperfectness (sin), we strive to respond faithfully to the call of Jesus to follow him as disciples (Matthew 28:19-20) in a world that competes for our energy, time and attention.
3.	Generations growing in faith. Jesus brought change into lives of the people that he met. Their lives would be different (Galatians 2:19-20). Jesus loved people as they were but God's love changes you. All generations and ages are included and faith is nurtured the best in families and small groups (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Acts 2:42-47).
4.	Blessed to serve. As we are blessed with God's grace, we share that grace through our loving service and resources (Matthew 5:15). As God first loved us, we love one another (Matthew 22:36-40, 1 John 4:7-8). We are the body of Christ, the priesthood of all believers and everyone has something to offer.
