The Seeds of Faith
Story
Seeds of Faith is a “new start” congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
in America (ELCA).
Planted in the communities of Lisbon & Mt Vernon, we are rooted in our Mission
of:
“Growing in Grace...
Gathering for Worship...
Scattering to Witness
And Serve!”
Seeds of Faith was planted officially on April 29, 2001 when it was recognized as
an ELCA member congregation. However, the Seeds of Faith community was growing long
before then. Starting with the desire to see an ELCA Lutheran congregation in the
Lisbon/Mt. Vernon area and building on an inviting door knocking campaign, Seeds
of Faith began strengthening its roots.
Worship services began in the Lisbon Community School Cafeteria but moved quickly
through the area parks, churches, the old Mount Vernon High School (currently the
"new" middle school), and even the famous Christmas eve in a barn service
due to the quick growth of this community of faith. In January 2007, we moved our offices
and worship space into our current location. Currently we worship in the
auditorium of the former Mount Vernon Middle School, and our offices are located on the second
floor.
See what the future holds in store for Seeds of Faith.
We invite you to come experience His powerful presence!
Come worship with us some Sunday at 9:00 AM as we strive to bring faith and life together in real and practical ways! Come help us write the next chapter of this never-ending story of Christ’s love for you, for us, and for all people.
