Messiah Lutheran Church | The Weekly Grind

ADULT MINISTRIES

Our mission is to share the love of Jesus by growing our own faith and encourage our fellow disciples to come together as one body in Christ as we minister to all people so that they are nurtured in faith, grow in knowledge and experience, and are inspired and empowered to live as disciples of Jesus Christ.
