The mission of HTLC is to be a church where everyday people become everyday disciples, serving our Lord. In a secular age, Church is not viewed as necessary, which can leave people wandering and searching for deeper meaning. On numerous occasions, Martin Luther said, “We are all beggars, and that is the truth.” We don’t claim to have all the answers, but we claim to have a deep curiosity for growing our faith together. We do proclaim that we are all beggars in need of healing and being made whole through the love of God, made known in Christ Jesus. We hold onto the promises given to us in the waters of our baptism, where we are washed clean daily, and where we come to celebrate in the Feast of Christ by sharing in the bread and wine of communion.

We follow the values and principles laid out by the ELCA, “Our values are grounded in faith, in our biblical and Lutheran confessional sources, and our love of God and neighbor. They speak to the way this Church lives and practices our faith, and they will guide how we journey forward in Christ as Church together.”

This is Christ’s Church, and 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.
