We Are Lutheran!
Rooted in the teachings of Martin Luther, we believe God’s love and forgiveness are pure gift—nothing we can earn, only receive by faith. Through Jesus Christ, we are fully forgiven, deeply loved, and called to live with gratitude.
Norway Grove Memorial is a part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America (ELCA). Being an ELCA Lutheran means believing that God loves and forgives everyone through Jesus and trying to live that love in everyday life by worshiping, helping others, and being part of a caring community. It values the Bible, church traditions, and thinking about faith in a way that includes and respects ALL people.

* We celebrate and praise God through dynamic and energizing music as an integral part of our worship experience.
* Just as we accept God’s gifts of our time, our talents and our possessions, we share them in service according to the Word.
* We teach God’s love and forgiveness by Scriptures, the Sacraments, and fellowship with others through our many education programs and groups.
* Following the example of Jesus, we seek to address current social needs both locally and globally.
* As we work to share God’s love here and beyond the walls of our church, we will continue to develop technology to enhance our worship services, administrative efficiency, and communication through social media about events, activities and happenings.
