Faith Formation
Learning has always been highly valued in Lutheranism. A critical approach to scripture along with excellence in theological reflection are key elements of the Lutheran tradition. Lutherans also recognize that discipleship is more than knowledge, it is a connection between the head and the heart, between knowledge and action. Thus, steeped in the confessional teachings of the reformation, we value learning which results in lifelong faith formation as disciples of Jesus Christ.
Third Thursday Theology Pub
Messiah's young adults and their friends are invited to join Pastor Eric for a time of theological conversation each Third Thursday at 7:00 pm.
Location of this event moves from month to month so you will need to watch bulletin announcements or call the church office for the upcoming month's location.
Invite a friend and join us as we engage in a modern day theological table talk about faith, life, church and society.
