Welcome to the First Evangelical Lutheran Church website. We hope this site will help you learn more about us and our witness for Christ. We strive to recognize and nurture the Christ in ourselves and each person that we encounter along the way. Our church is a thriving community of believers, and lovers of the word of God. First Lutheran Church ELCA has a long tradition of outreach and service to its members and the community. We hope you will join us for service on Sunday’s and/or on Wednesday evenings (during the school year), to experience for yourself the fellowship of Christ.

19 I am about to do a new thing;
now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?
I will make a way in the wilderness
and rivers in the desert.
Isaiah 43:19
Happy New Year!
With the New Year upon us it is good to look at the year gone by with a sense of thanksgiving
for everything that we have. In this congregation we have much to be grateful for as we have
added to our number of people in attendance, in membership, and contact with our
congregation. Our offering has increased as well and for the first time in many years we have
ended our financial year with a positive balance. Thank you for everything you have done and
continue to do in the ministry of this congregation.
I am exceedingly proud to be your pastor and participate in the life and ministry of this
congregation. As we look to the year ahead we are asked to consider what new things have
happened in the past year as well as considering the new things that are yet to happen.
God’s promise through the prophet Isaih was to create abundance in areas that were lacking- as
we move into this new year filed with excitement it would be good for us to ponder together
what areas of our life of ministry is currently deserted where God might be doing something
new and wonderful?
Happy New Year beloved ones, I look forward to perceiving together what God is doing with
us-
Pr. Erik
