Christ Lutheran Church is a congregation committed to Making Christ Known -- to individuals and in the community ; down the street and on the other side of the world. This is not a commitment to knowing answers or doctrine, but knowing deeply a God who gets personal, a God who meets us in our suffering and joy ; a God who gives us meaning and hope in a world that robs us of these things every day. We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America ( ELCA ), serving the Rockford metropolitan area in Winnebago and north Boone counties.
