Welcome to Christ Lutheran Church

 
Who We Are:
     The people of Christ Lutheran Church are Christians gathered together to grow in the knowledge of God’s love and share his love with one another and our community.
 
What Be Believe:
Grace alone
     God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
 
Faith alone
     By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
 
Scripture alone
     The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian faith and life.
 
How We Came to Be:
     In the beginning years of Boulder City, Lutheran pastors from Las Vegas came to conduct worship services. As time went on and Boulder City grew, Christ Lutheran Church was organized.
 
     In 1951 our first building was erected. Since then we have added a worship area, office area, and educational area.
 
     Our church is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). Today, the LCMS has about three million members, 6000 churches, and 8000 pastors in the United States. We have fifteen colleges and seminaries.
 
     Our synod has missionaries all over the world, as well as ministering to all ethnic people in our own land.
 
     Christ Lutheran Church is specifically a part of the Pacific Southwest District of our synod. This district covers Southern Nevada, Southern California and Arizona.
 
     Christ Lutheran Church is the home of Little Lambs Preschool.  We hold both morning and afternoon sessions three days a week for three and four year olds.

Tiny Gestures

   Ali McGraw is known as an actress. She is also known for her exercise tapes and her artistic ability. What is little known about this gifted person is that she also sets aside time to serve the poorest of the poor. Every so often, she journeys to Guatemala to work with poverty-stricken children who are known as "the children of the dump."

   The children and their parents try to eke out an existence by sifting through garbage dumps hoping to find something of value which they can sell to get money for food. Imagine the lift they get when someone of substance and concern comes to their aid.

Stewardship Thought


   Stewardship is a way of life. It is a fully Christ—oriented life. Christ must share in every phase of our existence.

   In the true spirit of stewardship, we find a great joy in sharing with God. Our return of Time, Talent and Treasure is an external demonstration of our faith, love and devotion.

   Love gives, and if you have never experienced the happiness and satisfaction of really sharing your life with Christ, you must try it and find rich blessings waiting.

The Source of Money

   My job is not the source of my income this week. Rather, God is the source and my job is merely a channel He uses to supply my needs. Yes, I work hard, and my employer owes me reasonable pay for my labor. But where did I get the ability to do the work? It's easy to forget, just like the Israelites forgot where their wealth and good fortune came from after they entered the Promised Land. So God had to keep reminding them to remember. This word "remember" is appropriate in developing gratitude because the word thanksgiving comes from the root word "to think." We have to consciously think about the source of all we have to be thankful.

Mammon Illness

   Rev. John Haugher spoke to a gathering of church leaders some time ago about the "Holy Use of Money," taken from the title of a book he authored in 1986. He described what he called "mammon illness," that is so pervasive in our consumer oriented culture.

 

What is “mammon?”
