Then one of the seraphs flew to me, and in his hand was a burning coal that he had taken from the altar with tongs. He touched my mouth with it and said, "Look! This has touched your lips; your guilt has been taken away and your sin has been atoned for." Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: "Whom will I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!" (Isaiah 6:6-8) God has come to us in Word and Sacrament and made us his own. It is in this world that we are served by real human beings called pastors, whose main task is to lift our eyes from ourselves and the world around us to see again the ways and words of God. God calls Preachers to proclaim His message: The message that we cannot stand before God on our own; and the message that we are forgiven through Christ alone.

Mission Statement of Christ Evangelical Lutheran Church: It is the will of God: That we will all be his witnesses to spread the Good News that Jesus our Savior brought us peace with God through the forgiveness of sins for all people. That we proclaim the Law and Gospel as revealed in Holy Scriptures to lead all people to repent of sin and to believe in Jesus, who died for our sins and rose to give us eternal life. That we be strengthened in faith and Christian living by worship, communion, continuing instruction, prayer, and fellowship to be better stewards and witnesses.
