ELCALord of Life is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

 

Accepting All. Excepting None.

We are a Reconciling in Christ (RIC) congregation. Our mission is to reach people with the love of Jesus Christ. All people, regardless of age, race, socioeconomic situation, gender identity, sexual orientation, marriage/partnership status, or cultural background are welcome at Lord of Life. As a Lutheran church, we want to extend a non-judgmental hand of grace and peace to you. We believe all people are genuinely and entirely loved children of God. As such we are intentional about welcoming lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender persons.
