Bethlehem West Elbow Lake Lutheran Church

Welcome 

Thank you for visiting our website!

We are Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ.

The local church is viewed as the place where people in the community come to get connected with God and one another.

In Romans 6, Paul explains that those who follow Jesus receive God’s grace and are freed from being burdened by their sin.  In LCMC, we celebrate this freedom with a great emphasis on understanding what it means to follow Jesus, then doing it.

Members are given the freedom to be creative in how they do ministry, working together to transform the lives of others and fulfill the Great Commission that Jesus set forth in Matthew 28.  

Being rooted in the scriptures and Lutheran confessions, we strive to be a light to the world, not a reflection of it, viewing God’s word as the #1 authority when it comes to our faith and how we practice it. By understanding that science, personal experience, tradition and other factors contribute to the conversations that we have, they do not have equal influence to what’s written in the Scriptures. The  Lutheran Confessions are believed to be a faithful witness to the truth of Scripture and give us reliable principles by which to guide the continued development of LCMC.
