Faith and Grace Parish is an exciting ministry opportunity which combines the congregations of Immanuel Lutheran Church of Golden, Salem Lutheran Church of Mendon and Zion Lutheran Church of Liberty into one three point parish. The purpose is to maintain God’s presence in each of the communities we serve. This geographical parish will enable cooperating congregations and pastor(s) to share strengths and benefits through shared ministry opportunities, resources, programming and cost/purchase savings.
The mission of Faith & Grace Parish is to gather in God’s name, share ideas and concerns and actively shape the future of spiritual growth for our member congregations. Empowered by the Holy Spirit and through ordained and lay leadership we offer this ministry to serve Christ, our communities, and the world.
The Faith & Grace Parish exists and cooperates in the spirit of mutual love and goodwill that each congregation has for the others. The commitment to the parish grows out of the abiding love of Christ and knowledge that we must work together to be successful as we are reminded by Jesus in Matthew 12:25. Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand.” It is this vision that binds us together.
