Welcome - A New Chapter at MLC !

Where God is calling us in the future — and calling the next pastor to lead MLC, is an exciting chapter for MLC! Founded in 1990, we are a thriving Lutheran church of the ELCA Southeastern Synod. We enjoy being together in worship, fellowship, and service with each other, our local community, and all our mission partners. Our future is just as promising! Come join in Messiah’s mission to be “God’s people, Reaching Out.”
