OUR MISSION:

• Our mission is to bear witness to the good news that sinners are put right with God by faith alone in Jesus Christ . Looking to the cross of Christ, we resist any corruption of this gospel . We proclaim God’s Word as law and gospel for the redemption of His people . May God help us to live our lives to

His glory and honor .

WE BELIEVE:

• We understand the Church of Christ to be the people of God who gather around

Word and Sacrament . • We believe that faith comes through Holy

Baptism and lives are changed by the power of the Holy Spirit . • As an LCMC congregation, we believe we are free in Christ and accountable to each other . • We are rooted and grounded in the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God and the

Lutheran Confessions .

OUR CHURCH:

• St . Luke’s Church was started by Swedish immigrants in 1869 . The congregation was first named Lake Ida Lutheran Church and was located north of Garfield . After the church burned down in 1921, the congregation relocated to Garfield, on land donated by the Salstead family . • St . Luke’s is a mother congregation to

Calvary Lutheran in Alexandria . • The present 1922 building was added on to in 2007 and again in 2013 to meet the needs of a growing congregation . • We are the body of Christ called by the

Truth of the Gospel, enlightened by the

Holy Spirit and sent to be the hands and feet of Christ .
