FAQs
- I’m not a Lutheran. Can I receive communion at LCH?
As Lutheran Christians, we believe in the real presence of Christ in Communion. We welcome everyone—no matter where you are on your spiritual journey—to join us in receiving this wonderful gift at Holy Communion.
- I know it says on your site that you openly welcome gay and lesbians into your church...and that’s awesome. But do you teach that homosexuality is wrong? Because it does say that in the Bible. They’re sinners and they obviously can’t become a Christian until they give their whole life to God...and that means obeying Him. Which includes turning from the sin of homosexuality. Just wondering.
We don’t teach that homosexuality in and of itself is wrong or a sin. Our sexuality—both homosexuality and heterosexuality—is a gift from God, and how we use it is a response to the overflowing grace of God in Jesus Christ. Therefore, what we lift up is the responsible, healthy, and faithful use of our sexuality in all of our relationships. This includes love, trust, and forgiveness, and treating others, who have been created in the image of God, as a gift—worthy of the respect and the dignity they deserve.
- If you don’t find the answer to your question, please send your question to the Pastor
