About Us
About
We are a two-point parish in Colton, SD. Our mission is to guide, serve, and prepare our family of God for a life of Christian faith in witness and service to God's world. The Christian faith is taught, renewed, and upheld by the grace of God in Christ Jesus through worship, education, youth programs, and community outreach.​ We are a parish of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).
Lutheran Beliefs
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is grounded in ancient and timely teachings about a powerful and patient God whose boundless love for all people brings deep meaning, comfort and strength to a growing community of people in modern, often unsettling times.
Values
Our Values
The ELCA’s values are rooted in faith, shaped by the Bible and the Lutheran tradition, and grounded in our love for God and our neighbor. These values guide how we, as the church, live our faith each day and shapes how we move forward as the body of Christ.
​
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
We believe that we are reconciled to God by God’s mercy, which is the source of all healing and hope. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven and made new — and we are called to extend that same grace to others. Reconciliation is not just a belief — it’s a way of life.
