LIVING GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH - HAWLEY, MN
Living Grace is a worshipping community of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Northwestern Minnesota Synod focused on making known God's love and grace by: welcoming everyone - sharing the story of Jesus - growing in faith - and serving beyond ourselves.
As a Congregation under Development, we worship Sunday mornings at 9 AM at the Garrick Theater in Hawley, MN. Fellowship and education hour for youth and adults follows at 10 AM.
Wednesday evenings at 6 p.m., we join with Gran-Park-Rollag Lutheran Parish for confirmation dinner and class. We meet at Rollag Lutheran. Please contact us for more information.
Our Guiding Principles:
Jesus Christ is Savior and Lord.
We humbly welcome, accept and value everyone.
We are strengthened in worship through Word and Sacrament.
We value faith as an ongoing journey of renewal and growth.
We recognize and respond to the needs in our community and the world.
We bring God's message of hope to the world.
Lutherans hold to the basic principles of Martin Luther’s theological teachings, such as grace alone, faith alone, scripture alone: We are saved by the grace of God alone – not by anything we do; our salvation is through faith alone – a confident trust in God, who in Christ promises us forgiveness, life and salvation; and the Bible is the norm for faith and life – the true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
Our faith is built around a strong belief in God as made known to us in Jesus Christ. Through worship, study, and service, we practice our faith, grow our relationship with God and others, and experience God’s grace in our lives.
We are part of God’s unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God’s Word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story.

Basic Beliefs of the ELCA:
- We confess the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
- We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.
- We accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source and norm of its proclamation, faith, and life.
- We accept the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the faith of this church.
- We confess the Gospel, recorded in the Holy Scriptures and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran confessional writings, as the power of God to create and sustain the Church for God’s mission in the world.
