Beginning this fall Central will join with other congregations of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Book of Faith Initiative.

The purpose of the Book of Faith Initiative is to increase
biblical literacy and fluency for the sake of the world.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America has made a commitment to encourage all members of our congregations, from children to adults, to dig deeper into our book of faith, the Bible.  The Book of Faith Initiative recommends a new model for our church—a grass-roots approach embracing a common vision in which all are invited to open scripture and join the conversation. Each community is encouraged to decide how the Book of Faith Initiative will become a vital part of its own ministry.

Pastor Rick Nelson points out the importance of being
acquainted with The Book of Faith in "People of the Book" here.

Our adult learning opportunities around the Book of Faith Initiative kick off Sunday, October 3 with "A Walk Through the Bible," a 3-week overview of our Book of Faith, led by Pastor Rick Nelson.  "What is our Book of Faith?"  "How did it come into being?" "How is it organized?" "The Bible as truth—what does this mean?" Come and rediscover your Book of Faith October 3, 10 and 17, 9:45 to 10:45 in the Community Room.  All are welcome!
