FLC Vision 2025

This past June we unveiled the report from our Vision Team. It was the product of hard work over the past 14 months by a dedicated group of people. It is a stellar vision for our congregation that challenges us to live up to the call of our God. The report teaches us:

Discernment is a gift of God and revolves around our practice of faith in our individual and communal lives. It is a call that comes again and again, most probably in different forms, but always in a way that is both renewing and transformative. That is our hope for First Lutheran Church.

Vision 2025 is a faithful document that builds on our 133 years of faithful ministry here in Bothell. It acknowledges all the good work that has been accomplished in the past while at the same time reminding us that God is calling us into the future.

First Lutheran Church approaches its mission from a position of great strength. We have lived in God’s immense grace for well over a hundred years, and have a strong desire to continue in that service. We have received God’s love, lived God’s love, and wish to share God’s love.  

As you spend time in recreation this summer I encourage you to reflect on who you are and whose you are and how the answer to this question might call you into a deeper relationship with your faith community. First Lutheran Church cannot live faithfully without you and the gifts God has placed in your care.

God has indeed called us into an amazing ministry. Will you faithfully consider how you might be a part of it? You have received God's love, it is poured out over you like a waterfall of grace. Now you are called to live into that love and grace so that you can share it with the world.

Thanks be to God for our call as a faith filled community ready to live in grace.
