The reason Gethsemane exists as a congregation is to allow souls to be fed with Jesus. Our purpose, as a gathering of Christians, is to be receive the Gospel of Jesus Christ on the basis of the Holy Scriptures. To that end, Gethsemane uses the Word and Sacraments of our Lord every Lord's Day, Sunday:
"They continued to hold firmly to the apostles’ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of the bread, and to the prayers." (Acts 2:42)
“For through the Word and Sacraments, as through instruments, the Holy Spirit is given, who works faith, where and when it pleases God, in them that hear the Gospel, that is, that God, not on account of our own merits, but for Christ’s sake, justifies those who believe that they are received into grace for Christ’s sake.” (Augustana V)
Here at Gethsemane you will find opportunities to be united to our Lord through His Word and Sacraments. We would invite you to get to know us.
