The Neighborhood Church

In places across the world and here at home, our church is inviting people to know the blessings of living Lutheran. Even in Arkansas where people often ask, “What’s a Lutheran?” we are telling God’s story and sharing the love of Jesus Christ. We visited Neighborhood Church in Bentonville, Arkansas to learn about how this growing mission congregation participates in the work of the Spirit to deepen faith.

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is one of the largest Christian denominations in the United States, with nearly 3.5 million members in more than 9,100 worshiping communities across the 50 states and in the Caribbean region. Known as the church of "God's work. Our hands," the ELCA emphasizes the saving grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ, unity among Christians and service in the world. The ELCA's roots are in the writings of the German church reformer Martin Luther.
