New Promise Lutheran Church is a congregation which seeks to live boldly in the confidence of God’s Promise of forgiveness, life, and salvation, and to make known the power of that promise to make all things new.
New Promise Lutheran Church is a congregation of the ELCA located in St. George, Utah. With the proximity of Snow Canyon (a mere 5 miles away), Zion National Park (45 miles), and the Grand Canyon (two hours to the south) we have constant reminders of the grace of God. Unlike these wonders of creation, over 10 thousand years in the making, God’s work at New Promise has gone much quicker. New Promise began in 1995 with about 12 people meeting in the basement of the St. George Baptist Church. Today there are some 200 individuals at worship on a regular basis and meeting in a beautiful new building on the West side of St. George. And yet, we recognize that just as God is not finished with these canyons, we too are still in the making. As individuals and as a congregation, God is still at work in us: shaping us for his purpose, and calling us to live confidently in the promise of God revealed in the cross of Christ.
God has called us as a congregation to share the promise of Christ’s love in our lives and through our worship, prayer, and service in the community.
- We seek to encourage broad participation in worship through traditional and non-traditional forms of worship.
- We seek to nurture the community life of the congregation with a broad variety of programs, communication, and participation.
- We seek to promote spiritual growth by keeping Christ at the center of all we do.
- We seek to grow ministries to families at all stages of life, but with a focus on young families.
- We seek to be active in our community through current and new outreach programs; ecumenical worship and service opportunities; community fellowship; and by making available our new facility for the benefit of the community.
