Faith Community

Taking on faith, one day at a time

In today’s world it can be difficult to find a foundation grounded in what you believe in, especially in a rapid paced pop culture that tells our young people to conform to negative ideals.

Yet our ninth grader is standing up for our shared eternal truths that he knows are good, right and necessary. On October 27, Chase Dunlavey will renew the promise made in his baptism, say yes to God, and publicly state his faith in the historic words
of the Apostles’ Creed.

In Holy Baptism God claims us by pouring the Holy Spirit upon us. We are then marked by the cross of Christ forever.

In the Affirmation of Baptism worship, Chase will take responsibility to continue to grow in faith and discipleship as God’s child.

We welcome Chase as he becomes a member of Clairemont Lutheran Church, joining with us in the mission of our congregation. God has blessed him, and we congratulate him on this milestone in his faith journey.

It's not goodbye, it's farewell

From Eddie McCoven, church staff member:

We had our last Sunday with Pastor Nate and his family on Sept. 15th. We gathered for special worship to commemorate this day.

Our 10:00 a.m. gathering was bilingual, and featured music from both the Spanish worship praise group and our Sanctuary Choir. You can watch that gathering here.

Members of our church council laid hands on Pastor Nate and his family as we sent them off to their next congregation with God's blessings. 

We then had a luncheon where members of the church shared their thanks for the ministry of Pastor Nate and his wife Dámaris. Both Pastor and Mrs. Allen shared their own heartfelt thanks with the congregation.

We also got hear Pastor Nate rap one last time.

Did we mention we will miss Natalia and Yaretzi? We know the children of our congregation will miss them.

As Pastor Nate said in his last sermon, this is not goodbye, this is farewell, see you next time. We will miss you Pastor Nate and your family. May God bless you and your ministry.
