Following the example of our Lord Jesus Christ, we at Ballard First Lutheran affirm the dignity and worth of all people.
We believe God calls us to be a community of grace, compassion, and justice. With St. Paul, we affirm that, in Christ,
"There is no longer Jew or Gentile, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all are one in Christ Jesus." (Gal. 3:28)
We believe that the Gospel, that is, the good news of Jesus Christ, is God's gift for all people.
Furthermore, we believe that this gift is to be shared unconditionally, without regard to age, race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic or family status, or physical or mental ability.
