In the Heart of the City...with a heart for all in the City
"We were attracted to First Lutheran because we were impressed with FLC's many outreach programs, especially the opportunities to serve the poor and needy in the downtown area. The voices of the poor are often ignored, but their challenges carry the most impact on our economy, humanity and more importantly, our morality." Read more about Jasmine & Mickey Wu's story |
“After five years of marriage, I separated from my husband; I was getting a divorce and suddenly a single mom. Attending church at First Lutheran brought me peace. I love to give to First Lutheran because the worship is uplifting, the people are welcoming, and our congregation does so much good work in the community! I like knowing that I am helping others through our church.” Read more about Melissa Hines' story |
“The music department is the greatest and the pastors sermons give much to think about all week. Our church is a place where I can give and feel confident that 100% of my total contribution (not just a percentage) is helping in many ways to support what the nation and our city needs to bring peace.” Read more about Marilyn Duning's story |
“When we give our time, talents, and offerings, we are responding to God's call to transform this world. Whether it is a food ministry here in Cedar Rapids, a well in Africa, or one of the many other programs - they all play an important role in carrying out God’s mission. As parents we hope our children learn this spirit of action through the examples this witness in this place.” Read more about Luke, Melissa, Chloe, & Esther Bishop's Story |
"We enjoy Fellowship with groups such as bible studies, Renevare`, retreats, and Financial Peace University.
