Loved by God,
We share Christ's Love with all.

We welcome all to gather and worship, believing that God’s love extends to all people regardless of identity, background, or where you are in your relationship with Christ. We affirm that we are avid supporters and allies of the LGBTQIA+ community, and understand that being an inclusive space is an ongoing project that never has a true finish line. Our goals in fostering Advent Lutheran as an RIC church and congregation includes current and future efforts of becoming better allies, inclusive of but not limited to the following communities: the disabled community, the LGBTQIA+ community, and the BIPOC community.

With our variety of worship service styles, times of day, and locations both in-person and online, we hope to provide a place of worship that can accommodate everyone.

We believe that providing for our greater community is one the most essential ways of spreading God's love. Please look through our website for more information about who we are, what opportunities we currently offer to serve the greater community through, and how we foster fellowship here at Advent Lutheran!

In collaboration with the LGTBQ+ Allies of Lake County, we will be hosting a six-week book club focused around the book "UNclobber" by Colby Martin. This book covers six Bible verses commonly used to exclude and inflict harm upon the LGBTQIA+ community, and discusses and debunks these harmful assertions of God's word.

This book club will be held both in-person at Advent and online. The book can be found online or stores in physical, virtual, or audio copies, and we always encourage supporting your local library!

To participate, please email Alexis Sharpe at asharpe3@kent.edu by July 29th
