GOD CALLS CHRISTIANS TO BE
CHURCH FOR THE SAKE OF THE WORLD

We believe that churches do not exist as ends to themselves and that the mission of church is to worship God, grow in faith, and serve their neighbors in God’s name. The mission of Advent Lutheran Church, therefore, entails that we serve our neighbors – near and far away – in word and deed.

To accomplish this mission, we partner with other organizations – locally, regionally, and nationally. Some of our mission partners include:

• Sunrise Christian Food Ministry (SCFM, aka the "Food Closet")
• Citrus Heights H.A.R.T.
• Four AA groups using our Fellowship Hall
