All Are Welcome In This Place

We extend a special welcome to all who have been blessed or hurt by church…whether you are a devoted Lutheran, a cradle Roman Catholic, married to a Methodist, raised Jewish, practicing Muslim, observant Hindu, or something else, we hope you find a home here. If this is your first time in a church or if you’re not sure if you believe in God, welcome. If you have ever been bored, burned, or bitter about church, you may find your tribe. We respect those who are single, divorced, LGBTQ, rich, or poor…plus crying newborns, nursing moms, weary dads, and wiggly toddlers. You’re welcome if you’re “just browsing,” just woke up, or just got out of jail.

We welcome those who are over 60 but have not grown up yet, or teenagers who are growing up too fast. We welcome single parents, gay parents, starving artists, tree huggers, creative entrepreneurs, hipsters, vegetarians, omnivores, those who are in recovery, or still addicted. We welcome those who are inked, pierced, or both. We offer a special welcome to people who could use a prayer right now, had religion shoved down their throat as a kid, or who got lost in traffic and wound up here by mistake! We welcome tourists, teachers, seekers and doubters, bleeding hearts and healers… and you!

At Spirit of Grace, you are not just welcome—you are wanted. We are an intentional, Reconciling in Christ community of ELCA Lutherans, Roman Catholics, and other faith traditions worshipping and serving together for more than 37 years. We welcome the LGBTQIA community, families, and individuals of all ages and faiths.
