Good Shepherd In The World

Nelson FamilyRecently Pastor Paul and Genevieve (Gena) Nelson received and accepted the call to serve on behalf of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) in Indonesia, based in Medan. Pastor Nelson and his family served Emanuel Lutheran Church, Santa Barbara for 10 ½ years. In this new role, Pastor Paul works closely with the Indonesian Christian Lutheran Church and helps train and mentor local pastors and lay leaders.

Pastor Nelson and family need fellow believers to partner with them in this new role.

How can we partner with them?

Our Values and Core Beliefs

Jesus died and rose for all. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16

The Bible is God's True Word. "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 2 Timothy 3:16-17

The Word and Sacraments. "For it is sufficient for the true unity of the Christian church that the Gospel be preached in conformity to and with a pure understanding of it and that the Sacraments be administered in accordance with the divine Word." Article VII, Augsburg Confession.
