Genesis is a member of the North American Lutheran Church.http://thenalc.org

The goal of the North American Lutheran Church is to be:

Christ-Centered

We affirm the authority of the Scriptures as the authoritative source and norm, “according to which all doctrines should ad must be judged” (Formula of Concord). We accept the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran Confessions as true witnesses to the Word of God.

Mission-Driven

We believe that making disciples – in our congregations, in our communities and nation, and around the world – must be the priority of the Church in the present age.

Traditionally-Grounded

We endorse the form and practices of the universal Church that are consistent with scripture, particularly the office of ministry and tradition of worship under Word and Sacrament.

Congregationally-Focused

We strive to be a church body that is organized to facilitate the ministries of local congregations in a posture of servanthood and in a spirit of partnership.
