Our Congregation
Our History
Christ Ev. Lutheran Church was started in 1969 as a mission congregation of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod. Today, Christ Lutheran, its pastor and members, stand ready to serve Brainerd/Baxter and the central Minnesota area.
Who Are We?We believe in the holy Christian Church. There is an invisible body of believers found throughout the world. This includes all who have faith in Jesus Christ and all his promises given in God's Word. The holy Christian church is built on Jesus, who is the head of the Church. (Ephesians 1:3-10) We also believe that it is important that believers gather together for many reasons. They gather for worship, prayer, fellowship, encouragement, and to work together in to carrying out the gospel message to the world. (Acts2:42-47; Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8) But you have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. Heb 12:22-23 Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’ Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth— everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.” Isaiah 43:5-7 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy. 1 Peter 2:9-10 |
