About Us

We are a Lutheran Church, formed in 1956, and just as Martin Luther himself was a reformer, we continually reform ourselves to be a beacon of hope for others. Mission Statements

Our goal at ‘CLC’ is to provide worship services

that enrich the lives of those that attend and inspire them to make positive impacts in the world. We strive to bring a new translation to Luther’s reformation mission, and provide a modern interpretation of Christianity and Spirituality. One way we do this is by recognizing the “Holy One” as our Heavenly Parent and acknowledging that as humans on a Faith journey, we are all born from both a father and a mother. As such, when representing our “Maker”, we honor both the masculine and feminine sides of life and spirit by using gender inclusive terms such as: our “Heavenly Father and Mother”, the “Holy One”, and/or the “Eternal One”. Affiliation

We are part of the ELCA and as such are a Christian Church. We primarily draw on the teachings and life of Jesus the Christ-Sophia to lead principled and faith inspired lives, and we occasionally look to other faith traditions for words of wisdom. Affirmations of Faith

We believe we are Holy beings on a human journey and sent to live lives of purpose and meaning. We believe we are called to bring compassion and love into the world. We also believe that the Spirit can be found everywhere we go: the Church is not the location of the Holy One, but is instead a focusing point of faith.

Hello once again!

This last Sunday was the day of Pentecost, and we are once again in a new Season of the Spirit! This season we will see representations of rebirth, cleansing, and renewal – all motifs of what fire can bring about.

Our message Sunday comes inspired from the Christian book of Acts, where the believers are meeting in one place and the sound of a windstorm sweeps through the area, filling the house that they were in. Then, what appear to be tongues of fire settle on each of them. The believers then speak in other languages and amaze the diverse peoples of Galilee, who hear them speaking in their own native languages, more than ten in all.

Some assume the believers are drunk, but Peter assures the crowd that it is indeed the Holy One who has poured out the Spirit upon them — this is a symbol of the Holy One’s presence.

Interestingly, the word “spirit” comes from the latin word “spiritus”, which means “breathe” or “wind”. Many times, the Holy One is represented as a breath of fresh air or a wind that sweeps through an area, just like in this passage. We also see the number five playing a role here, as Pentecost is the 50th day after Easter. The prefix “pent” helps form words like “pentagon”, a five sided shape. The day of Pentecost is also often seen as the birth of the Church. This experience was a new beginning for the believers. With the Spirit, they were able to be more.

We too can channel the Holy One in our everyday actions. We can fill our hearts and minds with compassion and partnership and unlock the “Spirit” that has been given to us. We can recognize our blessings and embody the feeling of wholeness and then share that feeling with others.

And when we do, we will move throughout creation as Spirit in action.

So this week, let’s have moments of continual rebirth. Let’s remember all the things that have been given to us, whether big or small, and then share the love we feel with all others.

Thank you Holy One! Amen!

Welcome back!

Sunday was the last Sunday of our Easter Season, and our message comes inspired from the Christian book of Peter, where we read about standing firm through challenges.

We are instructed to look at suffering as tests of faith, and just like tests in school, we see where we are lacking, and then we improve ourselves. This is easier said than done, as it’s often during our biggest struggles that we lack conviction.

In this passage we are taught to be humble, and just like the ancient stoics practiced, to turn over our worries and cares to the Holy One, as we can only control so much. We are also told to be on the watchout for our greatest adversary, who comes in many names, including, The Devil, The Tempter, Fear Wolf, and Satan. The passage gives us the imagery of a prowling lion, “looking for someone to devour”.

Let’s consider: how often do we feel the urge to do something that isn’t good for us? How often are we tempted to act in unhelpful ways? This is what Peter is referring to.

However, this force isn’t something outside of us — just like the realm of heaven is within us, so is “hell”. Our thoughts and perceptions are things that we are responsible for taming and controlling. It is our duty as people of faith to develop a working knowledge that the Holy One always acts in our best interest – we can either choose to believe that we are given challenges to develop into our best possible selves…...or not.

We always have a choice.

We can wallow in despair, or we can ask for strength. We can wail in agony, or we can count our blessings and name them one by one. We can sing joyfully, and sit silently in prayer and meditation. Then when we’ve internalized that we are ‘enough’, we pass on the blessings to another who needs it.

So this week, let’s imagine what our best selves look like and how we can fully live as people of faith. Then let’s develop into the best versions that humanity has to offer.

Thank you Holy One! Amen!
