entire world. We are continually seeking to provide for the
spiritual needs of our members and also for guests; namely, the
need of the knowledge of God's law and gospel. The clear
emphasis of our church's understanding of its calling to serve
is through the preaching of God's word, the sacraments, and
prayer. Nevertheless we acknowledge that when the word is
properly preached and received with joy, when the sacraments are
received in humble faith, and when prayer is offered with
reverence and expectation, with the Holy Spirit's blessing these
will create a church body that is enlivened to serve God and
other people.
