Faith Lutheran Church Columbia
DNA: Mary, Pastor Chris Sommer
Did you know… In the United States, “Mary” was the most popular name for girls from 1880 until 1961; and it remained one of the top 100 names until 2009. While this fact says something about the decline of the influence of the American church in post-modernity, it also says something about culture’s fascination with the mother of Jesus. Today, Pastor Chris is talking about Mary, looking at both Biblical facts and tradition-based doctrine.

We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
