“The spiritual life . . . is not achieved by denying one part of life for the sake of another. The spiritual life is achieved by listening to all of life and learning to respond to each of its dimensions wholly and with integrity."
- Joan D. Chittister, Wisdom Distilled from the Daily: Living the Rule of St. Benedict Today
CLC commits itself to the tending of the whole person -- the body, mind, and spirit, with the whole cosmos, the past, the present, and future. We offer ministry which binds together what is broken and which is dedicated to both spiritual nurture and development. Our offerings in spirituality are both innovative, responding to a rapidly-evolving world, and deeply rooted in the ancient traditions of the church.

PATHWAYS: A Center for Spiritual Renewal
Resouces and spiritual direction for all seeking a deeper relationship with humanity, creation, and the Divine. A non-profit ministry of Christ Lutheran Church, PATHWAYS launched in 2021 as a place where all would be welcome and people of different faith traditions could gather for spiritual conversation, prayer, and reflection. Today, it is a regional hub offering a variety of programming for seekers of all ages and faiths in their spiritual journey. Learn more about PATHWAYS here.
Prayer Chain
A network of people committed to daily prayer for the needs of others. Submit a request through our Prayer Request form (below) or, to find out how to be part of the prayer team, contact clcelca@makingchristknown.org.
Prayer for Worship
Several members gather with the worship leaders prior to worship to pray for those serving that day, for those in need, and for the whole world.
Prayers of the People
Each Sunday we pray publicly for those who are ill or suffering during worship. Names for prayer can be submitted through any member of the congregation.
Our Labyrinth
We welcome you to visit our labyrinth.
What is a Labyrinth? A labyrinth is a pattern, usually in the form of a circle that has one path, beginning at the outer edge and leading by a circuitous path into the center. Unlike a maze, there are no dead ends—one is never lost.
The journey promotes safety and peace. The path in is as important as the path out. Labyrinths have been used for centuries for prayer, meditation, and symbolic pilgrimage as well as personal and spiritual growth.
More about the prayer labyrinth at Christ Lutheran.
Sacred Space
Our Sacred Space is set aside for prayer, contemplation, and meditation. Its library resources help to focus our attention on the history of the spiritual tradition, the roots of the scriptures, and other sources of religious meaning.
