Christ centered,
Biblically grounded, Historically rooted.

Calvary Lutheran Church is a family of Christians directed by the Holy Spirit and growing as disciples of Jesus through worship, Biblical study and prayer that is shared with the community and the world. Christ-Centered, we confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Holy Scriptures.

  • We affirm the authority of the Scriptures as the authoritative source and norm, “according to which all doctrines should and must be judged” (Formula of Concord). 

  • We accept the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true witnesses to the Word of God. Mission-Driven, we believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to make disciples for Christ. 

  • We believe that making disciples – in our congregations, in our communities and nations, and around the world – must be a priority of the Church in the present age.

Calvary is a member of the North American Lutheran Church.

Christ Centered

We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Holy Scriptures. We affirm the authority of Scripture as the final source and norm for faith and life—“according to which all doctrines should and must be judged” (Formula of Concord). We accept the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true and faithful witnesses to the Word of God.

Mission Driven

We believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to make disciples for Christ. We believe that making disciples in our congregations, in our communities and nations, and around the world must be a priority of the Church in the present age.

Traditionally Grounded

We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the Church across time and space. We endorse the form and practices of the universal Church that are consistent with Scripture, particularly the office of the ministry and the tradition of worship under Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship with other Lutheran churches and with faithful Christians of other confessions.

Congregational Focused

We strive to be a church that is organized to facilitate the ministries of local congregations in a posture of servanthood and a spirit of partnership, through the provision of resources, connections and information.

Lynnae Douglas

Together, they sensed a call to serve Christ by serving in the church. They went to the North American Lutheran Seminary, from which she graduated in 2018. She and her husband have six children and are zealous to hand on the faith both in the “little church” that is their home, as well as in the wider church to which they’ve been called. The Douglases love to spend time together outdoors, reading, playing games, and just about any sport.
