Directions

Burlington Lutheran Church is a a multi-generational community of faith that worships and serves together. We take God’s love seriously and believe that the work of the church extends beyond Sunday mornings as we move out in God’s grace daily. For us, being a part of this community of faith makes a difference in our lives.

We are glad that you have chosen to visit this site. Please continue to peruse to find out more about our community, the ministry we do and for more about what we believe you may look at our denomination’s website, Evangelical Lutheran Church of America: www.elca.org.

Many churches make the bold claim, “all are welcome.” Most state that sincerely, but their theology provides caveats to that statement (i.e. “love the sinner, hate the sin,” “you can worship with us but you cannot serve or commune with us until _______”, “you can come here as you are and we will change you”).

I can unequivocally say, as pastor of BLC, YOU are welcome in our church. Your questions, your intellect, you doubts, your hurts, your hopes - all are welcome in our church. Your simultaneously sinner and saint selves are welcome here. Your children are welcome to be themselves in our community, you are welcome to be who God made you to be in our midst. You have gifts that will bless us, we have gifts that will bless you and, together – with God’s help, we can infiltrate the world with God’s love. 

Join us at 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings and beyond.

Grace and Peace,
Pastor Bethany
