It is the mission of the Lutheran Church By The Lake to worship, witness and participate in God's activity as we serve God's community.
Lutheran Church By The Lake, located near the Savannah River, its tributaries and Lake Thurmond, embodies in its name the symbolism and preciousness of water throughout scripture. Three walls of the sanctuary are enhanced by stained glass windows that represent the Lutheran understanding of what the church is: where the Word is taught and the Sacraments are administered.
The left and right panels of
the front window include a book and scroll with the sign of the Alpha
and the Omega, the beginning and the end. The large cross in the
center panel represents Our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is the Word.
The east window features a shell, water, and the Holy Spirit as given
in Baptism. The west window design of wheat and grapes depicts
the bread and wine of the Eucharist.
Lutheran Church By The Lake is a neighborhood church, welcoming people of all faiths to the worship services. The Lutheran Men in Mission (LMM) and Women of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (WELCA) work extensively with many local charity organizations as well as supporting state and global missions.
