What we believe

We are sons and daughters of the Protestant Reformation begun in the 16th century by a German Roman Catholic Priest named Martin Luther, and as Christians of this heritage we believe:

Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings
The Word of God is Truth
We are all sinners and need God's saving Grace (that means you and me too!)
Jesus came and died in our place and then rose from the dead to save us from those sins!
It's all about Jesus, there is no other Way!
We are committed to the concept of the Priesthood of All Believers - we are all ministers to each other. God has chosen flawed clay vessels to bear His Word to all the world.
We celebrate the gifts and talents of all of God's children - God makes no distinction between men and women in giving them these gifts, we make no distinction in encouraging the exercise of them in His service.

- and all this is done without any help from us! We confess that we are by our very nature sinful and don't even possess the ability to choose to call upon Jesus for help. We come to him and lay all our cares at the foot of the Cross because we are called through a Faith that has been freely given to us by the Holy Spirit.

Summertime

Well the kids are out of school here in Horry County and we are into the season of Pentecost - also known as ordinary time. In the Summer we sometimes tend to take things less seriously ... it's a time for vacations ... or here at the beach many people work lots of hours to support the local industry of tourism. I know that's the way it is - but I ask you to make spending time with the body of Christ a priority at least over a Sunday morning sleeping in or at the beach.

Church sometimes gets pushed to the back in terms of priorities.

Well, I have to tell you (and I really want to tell you) that there is no down time in your relationship with Jesus. There is no time that is more or less "ordinary". We as humans - creations of God in His image - need the connection to Him that only comes through hearing His Word and experiencing Him ... receiving His real presence that only comes when we are in church ... where he tells us that He comes into our presence ... not the other way around.

Take the time to be refreshed by the Water of Life.

See you in church,

Pastor Mark

Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC) is a centrist, association of Lutheran congregations. LCMC grew out of the reform movement within the ELCA known as the WordAlone Network.

Learn more about the LCMC at their website www.lcmc.net. Also take a look at our links page for direct links to youtube hosted videos from a LCMC produced DVD giving an introduction to the association and a chance to see a typical presentation given by LCMC Service Coordinator Bill Sullivan to congregations interested in joining LCMC. Pastor Mark also has a limited number of these DVD's and would be glad to give them to anyone from a church that may be considering joining the LCMC.
