First Lutheran Church, Pasco
Our Mission and Vision as ELCA Lutherans
Our mission: Together in Jesus Christ we are freed by grace to live faithfully, witness boldly and serve joyfully.
Our vision: A world experiencing the difference God’s grace and love in Christ makes for all people and creation.
Our values: These are grounded in faith, in our biblical and Lutheran confessional sources and our love of God and neighbor.
Forgiveness and reconciliation: We are reconciled to God by God’s forgiving mercy. As people of God, we embody forgiveness in speech, action and relationships.
Dignity, compassion and justice: We respect a God-given right to dignity and, inspired by the life of Jesus, show love and compassion for all people.
Inclusion and diversity: As Christ’s church, we value the richness of God’s creation and offer a radical welcome to all people. Diversity is not a barrier to unity.
Courage and openness to change: We understand faith to be a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, and we embrace learning and change in our spiritual and institutional journey as church.
Faithful stewardship of God’s creation and gifts: Faithful stewardship is about holding to God’s purpose and ensuring the responsibilities and resources that God has entrusted to us are used with great care and with accountability.
