Welcome to MacArthur Park Lutheran Church
You are considering MacArthur Park Lutheran at an exciting time for our church!
Since September 2010, we have been in the process of re-writing our purpose statement and becoming more intentional about how to be the people God is calling us to be!
With the help of a vision task force, congregational Bible study in small groups, and a number of adult forums, we are ready to adopt a new purpose statement and guiding principles. To guide our work and conversations, we have studied the Book of Acts and have used a format similar to that presented in Dave Daubert’s book entitled Living Lutheran: Renewing Your Congregation.
As MacPark celebrates fifty years of ministry, relationships, and life in Christ, we anticipate adopting this new purpose and these principles at our annual meeting on Aug 28, 2011.
