Here are a few questions you might have
  • Why join Light of Christ?

    - Theology matters to you.


    - You believe our lives together with other members and visitors matters- for you and them.


    - You want to let God shape you to be who He wants you to be. Maturing in your faith.


    - You want a pastor to check in with you and how your faith is going.


  • What will Light of Christ do?

    1. Faithfully preach the Gospel every worship service and faithfully administer the Sacraments.


    2. Pray for you at least once a week and possibly up to three times a week.


    3. Be intentional in helping you do the things that lead to Spiritual growth.


    4. Help you in serving others, in the church and in the community, and tell others about Jesus.


  • An active member is someone who

    1. Faithfully attends worship weekly


    2. Is doing the things that let God shape them to be who He wants them to be.


    3. Serving inside the church (church programs and activities) and/or outside the church (benefits a group outside of LOC).


    4. Is working towards becoming a tither (add one percent every three months to your current giving). Once you become a tither- start sacrificial giving- which is more than 10%.


  • What does it mean to hear the Gospel?

    We need to be in church to hear the Gospel. What does it mean when we say Gospel? A sermon should point out your sinfulness (The Law) and then point you to the one who has paid the price for your sins through the cross and the empty grave- Jesus (The Gospel).




    The law is preached, not to make you “feel bad” but to show your need for a Savior. If you don’t know you are sinful, then you don’t know you need a Savior. Our sins are called out to bring us to the cross of Jesus. The Gospel (Law and Gospel) brings us before the cross and resurrection of Jesus. The Law reminds us of exactly WHY we need Jesus.

  • What does it mean to participate in the sacraments?

    The Sacraments (Baptism and Communion) point us to the grace of God in Christ Jesus. In Baptism we are claimed as Children of God. Our baptisms also connect us with the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Communion, we are reminded of the price Jesus paid for our salvation- His death on the cross. Baptism and Communion bring us to the cross of Jesus where we are confronted with what Jesus has done for us and our salvation. He accomplished what we cannot do. In Jesus, we are forgiven sinners and declared righteous by God.
