New Member Information

No perfect faith required. No religious résumé needed. Just come as you are.

Bring your questions. Find your people.

Whether church has always been part of your life, you're finding your way back, or you're not sure what you believe anymore—there's a place for you at First Lutheran.

We are a community rooted in the radical love and grace of Jesus. We are Lutheran, which means we believe God's grace is a gift—not something we earn. We believe faith is a journey, and we don't have to take that journey alone.

We believe everyone belongs.

First Lutheran strives to be a place where people can show up as their full selves.

We welcome people of every race and culture, age and ability, family structure and economic status, sexual orientation and gender.

Wherever you are on your faith and life journey, you are welcome here.

We don't have to agree on everything.

We believe following Jesus means looking beyond ourselves: caring for our neighbors, standing with people who are overlooked or pushed to the margins, and sharing God's love in the world around us. 

We live out our faith by exploring the Bible, prayer, singing together, ancient and modern traditions, and the unique wisdom and experiences each person brings. We ask questions. We wrestle with hard things. We learn from one another—even when we disagree.

Want to go deeper?

You don't have to become a member to belong here.

Come worship. Join a ministry. Meet some people. Ask questions. Serve your neighbors. See what happens.

Membership is simply a way to say, “This is my church community, and I want to help build it.”

Members help shape our congregation, serve in leadership, vote on important decisions, and share in the work of our mission.
