Hey church!!
How amazing is it that God has used this sermon series "What's NEXT" to inspire and excite us about what is up next here at Messiah! So, let's do just that, let's get excited about something new here at Messiah Lutheran Church.
Welcome to our brand new website! We have such an amazing group of people God has blessed us with to work on putting together an easy to navigate website that is able to relay information to not only our congregation but those wanting to join us on Sunday mornings and throughout the week.
Home Page
On our website, you can find everything going on here! If you want just a quick look, take a look at our home page. You will be welcomed by a beautiful picutre of our campus. If your scroll down you will then see our welcome home section, an overview of who God made us to be and do. Next to that is where our new welcome video will be soon! Once it's up, give it a watch if you haven't already, whether a visitor or a 30 year veteran, it is an amazing reminder of how God has moved and is moving at our church.
Scrolling down, you will find a description of each of our worship services. There you will find for each service a list of available Sunday School options with links to the Sunday School page which we will discuss in a moment. There also lies the links to our pages on whcih we livestream the 9:30 am service. Click, or tap, on these and it will direct you straight to either the YouTube page or the Facebook page.
Scroll a little further down and you will find a calendar of events that will provide dates, times, locations, and overviews of all the events that are taking place in the whole month! This way, you don't have to go searching for upcoming events, it's right there for you to see! This calendar is tied to our Church Center, this means if you click on an event on the calendar you will be directed to the church center event which will tell you the location, information, as well as if there are any sign ups they will be there!
Below that you can see we have a list of our most recent newsletters for you to read digitally or print.
Finally at the bottom of our website, you will find our blogs! Thats maybe how you ended up here! You can expect our blogs to include some notes from church members about things going on, devotionals God has put on their hearts, as well as the excerpts from Pastor Kurt in the monthly newsletter.
About Pages
This is our page to let people know who we serve and what our core belief is. It is important for people to be aware of who we stand for and who we serve. At our core, we proclaim Christ crucified and resurrected. We believe the Bible to be the inerrant word of God, the revelation of God to His creation. We worship Jesus, and Jesus alone and we want you to know that!
If you scroll down more, you will be met with some information on the team God has put in place here to help the church move!

Our Vision
The "Our Vision" page tries to capture the goals of Messiah Lutheran Church. These are a few things we have set in place to continue to grow as a church. You will find our Mile Markers of Faith ​which is a ministry of MLC in which we bless the child, gift the family, and call the parents to the promises of baptism by providing family educational opportunities at specific milestones in a child’s life because we believe the family is the primary nurturer of a child’s faith. You can click or tap on each milestone to find out more about it!
Then, if you scroll down a little more you will see our Bring. Build. Bump vision. This vision is separated into our goals, measures to reach those goals, and how we can invest in the mission.
