As men, women, and children united in faith and worship by the Word of God, Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church and School exists to make disciples throughout the world for time and eternity (Matthew 28:18-20), using the Gospel to win the lost for Christ (1 Corinthians 9:19) and to nurture believers for lives of Christian service (Ephesians 4:11-16), all to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 1:31).
