Our mission as a congregation is stated as follows: “Loved by God, we share Christ’s love with all.” We believe that God does, in fact, love this world and all of us living in it. We know that we are not perfect, sinful even.  However, we believe that God has revealed that our flaws and failings have been dealt with by God’s love. We also believe that we have been called to “share” the love revealed to us through Jesus. Share, not in the sense that we have something which others need – but share in the sense that we believe God has given to each of us a part to play in making a difference in the world. Each of us has a share in that work and we do our part when we love one another.

We hope this site is helpful to you whether you are a first time visitor or a long time member; whether you are looking for something in particular or stumbled up this site by accident; whether you desire to gain information, find direction, ask a question, share your thoughts or request a prayer. You are welcome here and in the community that makes up Advent. Thanks for joining us in the journey here on the web. Please feel free to also check us out in person!

What do we believe? One of the benefits of the internet is the ease in which we can deliver and search for information. We could try and anticipate every question you might have about what we believe (e.g. “What do Lutheran’s believe about the Bible?” or “What do Lutheran’s believe about Holy Baptism?,” etc.) instead we choose to give you this link to a section of the web page of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) that already does that: www.elca.org/Faith/ELCA-Teaching. We think it is pretty thorough. However, if they fail to address your question, please feel free to contact our pastor (Rev. Steven C. Bond) at pastorstevebond@aol.com.
