"ROOTED IN CHRIST, SERVING IN LOVE"
Welcome to the website of New Jerusalem Evangelical Lutheran Church (NJELC) often referred to as “Apples Church”. While we have tried to capture an up-to-date snapshot of who we are as a congregation, it is best to get to know us by joining us for worship or during a church event. You will find that New Jerusalem is a welcoming community of individuals and families that worship and share fellowship together, and are fed by the sacraments of Holy Communion and Baptism. While doing so, we continually take steps forward on our journey, as we follow where God is calling us to go.
When you join us for worship you can expect to hear progressive preaching, and the reverent reading of scripture. You will participate in the liturgy and singing, and you will be encouraged to bring your concerns, laments, and joys to God. We hope that you will feel welcome and can find a spiritual home here with us. We look forward to meeting you soon! Peace in the name of Christ Jesus.

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH - WHISPERS OF MY FATHER

. . . if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray
and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven,
and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV)
