Who We Are

We believe that every person that comes to Central has been sent by God. We want you to feel welcomed, loved, and needed. We are eager to get to know you, and we are excited to share with you the many gifts with which God has blessed us. 

It will not take long for you to discover that this is a place where you can find friends, hope, and a meaningful relationship with God. Growing together, we worship, serve, laugh, cry, and learn. If you have been searching for a place to belong, we say, Welcome to Central Lutheran.

What We Believe

Our congregation confesses the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel (Good News) as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. 

We affirm and identify with the confessions of the Lutheran Church. We affirm the centrality of grace alone, faith alone and word alone.

We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

We believe in, and practice, the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion.

We believe that through the waters of Baptism, God reaches out to us with a promise of new life by calling us into a relationship with Jesus Christ. This relationship is a life-long journey of faith.

We affirm the Baptism of infants. We also welcome and rejoice when adults are baptized as they seek to mark their new life in Christ.

We believe that through Communion, God comes to love us and forgive us. It is a meal of spiritual renewal as we celebrate the mystery of Jesus’ true presence.
