Have you wondered, "What is going on in American mainline Christianity lately?" Has H. Richard Niebuhr's critique come to pass? “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.”

We have a vision to step back and "touch base" with the One who called us to Himself; to reach out to those who sense they have been left adrift in a sea of political correctness; to reach those who are not close to Jesus Christ and His Church. With His help, we will!

Please pray for God's purposes in All Saints Lutheran Church. Welcome home!
