Gethsemane Lutheran labyrinth

​​​​​​​​​​​A Labyrinth

A labyrinth has been laid in our front lot and is available to the community 24/7. In a rustic setting of natural ground covering, the stones form a pathway which can be used for prayer, meditation, and/or reflection. You are invited to come and walk anytime!

This is Christ’s church.

There is a place for you here.
We are the church that shares a living, daring confidence in God’s grace. Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person–questions, complexities and all. Join us as we do God’s work in Christ’s name for the life of the world.

Lutherans emphasize God’s saving grace. God comes to us with salvation.

Salvation is God’s work, not ours. It is a gift. There is nothing we can do to earn it. Salvation is about God’s love for us, not a measure of our love for God.

say to the Lord: “My refuge,
my rock in whom I trust!”
