Who we are

Our Mission

To Know, Live and Share the Love of Christ

Under the blessing of God, the mission of Village Lutheran Church is a ministry of the Word and Sacraments. This ministry gives opportunities for mission, witness, nurture, fellowship, stewardship, and service. It focuses on the specific needs of individuals and groups within the congregation and extends to the church-at-large, the community, and the world.

The Chapel School is an integral part of the congregation’s ministry directed specifically to children. It provides a distinctive Christian education enabling children to evidence a Christian lifestyle and to achieve academic success.

OUR CORE VALUES

Faith Values

We value the lost coming to faith and the faithful strengthened through the Word and the Sacraments. We value our Lutheran heritage of grace alone, faith alone and scripture alone.

Life Values

We value high quality worship in diverse forms. We value high quality Christian education and relevant preaching. We value faithful stewardship of time, talents and financial resources. We value lay leadership in ministry, especially the service of women. We value the care of body, mind and spirit. We value social justice and helping others.

Community Values

We value our strong commitment to the communities we serve: (the Bronx, Southern Connecticut, Upper Manhattan and lower Westchester County). We value our partnership with the Atlantic District staff and with the congregations, schools and ministries that the District serves. We value the legacy of our partnership with Concordia College as an institution and with the former students, faculty and staff.

The power of Christian prayer Abide with us
O Holy Spirit of God, abide with us; inspire all our thoughts; pervade our imaginations; suggest all our decisions; order all our doings. Be with us in our silence and in our speech, in our haste and in our leisure, in company and in solitude, in the freshness of the morning and in the weariness of the evening; and give us grace at all times humbly to rejoice in Thy mysterious companionship.
