Welcome
Statement
Welcome to Mount Olivet
Lutheran Church! Our church doors are open to all.
Mount Olivet Lutheran Church is a member church of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada. We have committed
ourselves to offering openness, understanding, justice and
healing to God’s creation. We are a community of faith rooted
in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We value diversity, openness,
and honest quest of meaning. We welcome people from all walks of
life whether they are single, married, divorced, separated,
partnered, gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender. We respect
all human beings regardless of their citizenship, cultural
heritage, cultural or sexual orientation, or gender because we
are created in the image of God.
All are welcome to join us to experience the radical love of
Jesus and to face the unknown journey of life. We are
committed to being a welcoming community of faith ever
marvelling at the wondrous love of God as seen at the foot of
the cross. Therefore, in faithfulness to the Gospel, in
reflection of our Lutheran heritage, and in honour of our
shared baptismal covenant, we promise to seek ways to enter
into shared ministry with all who would seek God here. Based
on our understanding of Lutheran theology and the Bible, we
wish to extend Christian fellowship to everyone. All are
welcome here.
