As a grace-filled people, King of Glory Lutheran Church strives to share God's grace with others, caring for one another and our neighbors so that our actions and relationships share the joy of God's love with all people.

Our vision is to be generous in service and giving, boldly sharing the grace of God with our ministry partners and community. Several times a year, we set aside a weekend to focus on a variety of service opportunities.
