Purpose Statement & Core Values
First Evangelical Lutheran Church
Xenia, Ohio
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God - not the result of works, so that no one may boast."
Ephesians 2:8-9
"Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! By his great mercy he has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."
1 Peter 1:3
"...I was hungry and you gave me food,
I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink,
I was a stranger and you welcomed me,
I was naked and you gave me clothing,
I was sick and you took care of me,
I was in prison and you visited me."
Matthew 25:35-36
These are the values
by which we live
