HISTORY

Avent Lutheran Church was founded in 1965. Led by Pastor Mark Tonneson, the early congregation met in the Municipal Building until the first church building was erected on Kingsley Avenue on the present site of Lowe’s. The congregation quickly outgrew the small building.

 

At the time of investigating a new location for a larger church home, the Loch Rane community was under construction. The developer, wanting to maintain an attractive gateway to the community, gifted the land to Advent for our present campus.

As Lutheran Christians we believe that:

  • We are saved by the grace of God – not by what we say or do.
    “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God— not the result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)

  • Our words and actions are a response to God’s love for us.

  • We are the hands and feet of Christ in the world loving, serving, and caring for others in Jesus’ name.

  • Everyone is made in the image of God and is thus valued and welcome here.
