Who are we at Custer Lutheran Fellowship?
We envision Custer Lutheran Fellowship to be like the Black Hills themselves, an inviting community in which God's Spirit blows through people - like wind through the pine - life that is forever new!
God's spirit inspires us to be:
- A worshiping community, hearing the life-giving Word of God receiving Christ's very presence in the Sacraments, and raising our voices in joyful songs of praise and prayer;
- A growing community, with building and grounds spacious enough for all;
- An intergenerational community, nurturing children and youth, young
adults, people in mid-life, and older people as one family of God;
- A learning community, in which people of all ages take advantage of
multiple opportunities to deepen their understanding of the grace and
justice of God;
- A giving community, generously offering our time, talent and treasure to support each other and share in Christ's ministry;
- A serving community, reaching beyond ourselves to stand with the poor, the sick, the hungry and the oppressed;
- A witnessing community, eager to share with everyone the joy we have received from Christ.
Our Bedrock Beliefs are as follows...
 We grow in faith through worship and sacraments
The Word of God is our hope, healer and help
We believe in the Cross and our risen Lord and that through Christ we have eternal life
Support comes from within our family of believers who see and serve Jesus in others
Through prayer we evoke God's love and power as the Spirit intercedes for us "with sighs too deep for words to express"
In crisis God is our strength. He is all loving and accepting and He helps us through these times.
We have faith only through God's grace.
