Always Reforming; Always Growing in Faith

As a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, we are a part of one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with more than 3 million members across the 50 states and in the Caribbean region. The ELCA emphasizes the saving grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, unity among Christians, and service in the world. The ELCA's roots are in the writings of the German church reformer Martin Luther.

Lutheran teachings emphasize a deep curiosity towards God's movement in the world. From the beginning, "Always Reforming," has been a common motto to help us stay focused on where God is calling us. At Spirit Alive!, we lean into this by being open to the new things God is doing through us and our neighbors. Following this call takes many forms, from Bible study to serving in the community.
