  • OUTREACH   that brings God's love to the world.

  • WORSHIP       expressed in scripture, sacrament, and music that celebrates the Holy Spirit's uplifting of the human spirit.

  • FELLOWSHIP that empowers God's people to collaborate creatively, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually.

Lutheran Tradition

We are a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA) and the Pacifica Synod.  We believe that because we have experienced unearned grace and forgiveness from God through Jesus Christ, and because God has promised us resurrection of the body and eternal life, we serve God and our neighbor and seek to live lives that are gracious, forgiving, and generous. Since 1957, we have lived and served in Garden Grove and beyond, being church for the sake of the world. Our history and tradition guides us in practicing love to our neighbors as Jesus did through service, worship, advocacy, and reform.
