At Grace Lutheran Church, an ELCA Lutheran church in Wenatchee, our passions for ministry are centered in…
Worship
Worship is a verb. We gather at Grace Church Wenatchee to worship the living God. Our worshiping is rooted in God’s Word and is Gospel-centered. Worshipers of all generations at Grace Lutheran Church are full participants. We come to worship with our whole selves, expecting that God meets us through the gifts of:
Prayer;
Preaching;
Sacraments of the Table and Font;
Music; and
Relationship, where we belong to God and to one another. As we worship, we acknowledge our local and global community. Our worship helps us experience:
Gratitude to God;
A challenge to grow and mature in Christ;
Comfort in the midst of pain or loss; and
Healing and reconciliation, in ourselves and in our relationships. In all of this, we are being shaped and taught to be a living expression of the crucified and risen Christ.
Community
At Grace Lutheran ELCA Wenatchee, we strive to embrace all people, inviting one another into the life of Christ to be renewed and re-formed by God and by one another. We seek ways to be engaged in our neighborhoods, region, and world in the name of Christ for the sake of wholeness and justice in relationships. We expect that people of all ages, abilities, ethnic origins, education levels, socioeconomic statuses, gender identities, and sexual orientations are shown:
Support;
Love;
Safety; and
Acceptance. We teach and learn together about the Scriptures and the joys and challenges of living the Christian life. In all of this, we are being shaped and taught to be a living expression of the crucified and risen Christ.
Service
At Grace Lutheran Church, we give generously to better the lives of people around us and to be part of God’s mission in the world. We pursue long-term relationships with people and agencies outside the congregation. We serve with vulnerability, keeping the well-being of the other as our primary focus. We look to recognize how we are Christian servants in our daily lives and vocations. In all of this, we are being shaped and taught to be a living expression of the crucified and risen Christ.
