About Christus Victor Lutheran Church
But thanks be to God, who gives us the Victory through our Lord, Jesus Christ.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:57
We're So Glad You Found Us!
Because God through Christ has conquered the powers of sin and death, we are freed to live in response to this grace-filled promise: We have already been saved through God’s love for us!
Let’s live like death and sin have no more power over us. Because they don’t!
Let’s live like Christ’s death and resurrection really mean that our lives have changed. Because they have! Thanks be to God!
