Learn Our Values.

At Shepherd of the Sea Lutheran Church, we welcome everyone because God welcomes everyone,

Regardless of your ability, age, ethnicity, gender identity, life circumstances, marital status, race, or sexual orientation,

Whether you are a believer, doubter, or Seeker,

Your diversity and uniqueness are welcome.

We turn away everyone that Jesus turns away,

and Jesus turns away no one.

The church exists for those that are not yet members.

We aim to create a friendly and welcoming environment for anyone who wants to learn more about our faith. We exist to spread the message of the Gospel - not to celebrate our own righteousness.

More Info

We accept all people.

Our church welcomes and accepts individuals at any point in their faith journey. We have faith in God's plan to lead them to their intended destination, according to His timing. We turn away those who Jesus turns away - and Jesus turns away no one.

More Info

Christianity is about relationships, not religion.

Authentic Christianity is all about building a relationship with God, rather than just following a set of religious rules. It is important to show care and compassion towards others since this is what truly matters in the eyes of God.
