"Bringing Christ to All People Today and Everyday"


 



Come Grow With Us

Our invitation, "Come Growth With Us," is not just a welcome, a friendly gesture, or a call to membership.  

It is an invitation to experience the love of God by worshipping with us, learning with us, and serving the world with us as a community of faith.  Together we grow closer to God and closer to those for whom we care. Together we live out the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  

As a congregation we are like a tree with many branches, many opportunities to search, find a niche, and thrive.  Come grow with us! 

Gloria Dei's vision statement is lived out through these six key vision elements . . . 
 
  • Mission-minded - Connections with  a local soup kitchen, an inner city congregation in Milwaukee, Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, and Lutheran World Relief.                       
  • Youth-oriented - Commitment to and broad support for a long-term youth education and ministry program.
  • Volunteer-driven - Strong volunteer spirit and can-do attitude.  Involvement from all ages in the life of the church - worship, education, care for members, care for our church, outreach, evangelism, and stewardship.
     
  • Music-gifted - Choirs for all ages and music for all seasons.
  • Stewardship-committed - Solid stewardship, without guilt or gimmicks, that allows Gloria Dei to focus on ministry and needs within the congregation and benevolence beyond our church.   
  • Facilties-blessed - A new sanctuary and common areas designed to help Gloria Dei acheive its mission.
