Grounded in Word & Sacrament

📖

Scripture Alone

The Bible is the inspired, inerrant Word of God and the sole authority for all matters of faith and life. We preach and teach it faithfully every week.

✝️

Grace Alone

Salvation is entirely God's work, given freely by grace for Christ's sake. This is the liberating message at the center of everything we do.

🕊️

Faith Alone

We receive forgiveness and eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ — not through our works or merit. This is the gospel we proclaim to our community.

🏛️

Lutheran Confession

We subscribe to the historic Lutheran Confessions in the Book of Concord, which faithfully summarize the teaching of Holy Scripture.

🤝

Community & Service

Over 75 years of ministry in Grande Prairie. We serve our neighbours — through care home worship, Christian fellowship, and mutual care.

Who We Are

A congregation of Lutheran Church Canada, rooted in Scripture and the historic Lutheran Confessions, serving Grande Prairie for over 75 years.

75 Years of Ministry in Grande Prairie

Faith Lutheran Church has been a presence in Grande Prairie for over 75 years. Through decades of growth, change, and challenge, we have remained anchored in the unchanging Word of God.

We are a member congregation of Lutheran Church Canada — a church body committed to biblical teaching and the Lutheran Confessions as found in the Book of Concord.

Our congregation has been shaped by faithful pastors, dedicated lay people, and generations of families who have passed the faith on to their children. We are grateful for this heritage and eager to carry it forward.

Meet Our Pastor

✝️

Pastor Jamie Ventura

Pastor, Faith Lutheran Church

Pastor Ventura serves the congregation of Faith Lutheran Church. For pastoral inquiries, baptismal requests, or prayer, please reach the church office at (780) 532-7612 or [email protected].

What We Believe & Confess

As a Lutheran congregation, our doctrine is drawn from Holy Scripture and summarized in the historic Lutheran Confessions found in the Book of Concord.

I

Holy Scripture

The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, and the only rule and norm by which all doctrine and teachers are to be judged.

II

Justification by Grace Through Faith

We are justified before God solely on account of the obedience and merit of Christ, received through faith — not through our own works or worthiness.

III

The Trinity

We believe in one God, eternally existing in three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — as confessed in the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds.

IV

Holy Baptism

Baptism is a means of grace through which God works forgiveness of sins, delivers from death and the devil, and gives eternal salvation to all who believe.

V

The Lord's Supper

In the Sacrament of the Altar, Christ's body and blood are truly present with the bread and wine, given and shed for the forgiveness of sins.

VI

The Book of Concord

We subscribe to all the documents of the Lutheran Confessions as a faithful summary of Scripture, including the Augsburg Confession and Luther's Small and Large Catechisms.

"The Book of Concord should be in every Lutheran home… The Lord doesn't want us to remain children, blown to and fro by every wind of doctrine; instead He wants us to grow in knowledge so that we can teach others."

— Dr. C.F.W. Walther
