Pastor's Message

Welcome in the Name of Jesus!

Gathering together on Sundays and through the week shows we're serving God during the days we're given.  Our mission is to proclaim Jesus and His love to the world today.  We do this just as He said--to go, make disciples, baptize and teach in the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Life in the Body of Christ functions around these activities: Worship, Nurture, Witnessing, Service and Fellowship.  Our vision is rooted in Christ’s vision for the church—and we pray these activities bless and strengthen our congregation.

Be part of Christ’s mission by…

*  bringing family to church who need Jesus;

*  encouraging friends to consider the Christian faith and pray for them;

*  showing a bold belief in God's Word and trusting His ways are good;

*  engaging in Jesus’ work of mercy through our missions.

Yours in Christ,
Pastor Otto

P.S.  Did you know our website name is rooted in St. Matthew's mission?  GraceFaithLove = We are saved by God's grace alone, through faith in Jesus Christ, and now we live in love toward our neighbor--all so God's kingdom may expand as more people are saved and growing in Christ!
