Messiah Lutheran Church is a member of the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America).
As Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) Christians, we have a radical focus on God’s unconditional love. We believe that the word of the God is Jesus Christ himself, with a second understanding that the message of Jesus Christ is also the word of God. The ELCA looks to the bible for authority in its preaching and teaching, yet does not take a literalist approach to scripture. |

As a member congregation of the ELCA in Florida, we are part of the Florida-Bahamas Synod, a grouping of all ELCA congregations in the State of Florida and in the Country of the Bahamas. We celebrate the sacraments of baptism and the Lord’s supper–external signs instituted by Christ that convey God’s grace and mercy. The ELCA is an inclusive and ecumenical church and seeks relationships with other religious traditions. We are part of the ELCA, a church body that consists of 4 million baptized members, worshiping in nearly 10,000 congregations within 65 synods in 9 geographic regions. |
