To know Christ, and to make Him known.

Here at First Lutheran Church, we desire to know Christ and to make Him known. What does that mean and what does that look like? It means that the center of everything we do is the Bible, which is how God chose to reveal Himself to us, is inspired by God Himself and is therefore without error. We know from Scripture that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to heal not only the broken world but our broken relationship with God the Father. We know Christ not only with our minds but also with our hearts.

But we don’t want to just keep this news to ourselves, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ is meant for all people, in all places, and for all times. The Good News is that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. We desire to spread this Good News so that more people will come to faith in Jesus, both here in Ellendale and across the world. We are thankful to know Christ, and we want YOU to know Him too.
