inspire faith Capital campaign


On February 1, 2026, First Lutheran Church launched the Inspire Faith Capital Campaign. Through the Inspire Faith capital campaign, we seek to raise 6.1 million dollars to expand the church narthex and gathering space, increase accessibility, update the finishes of the main level, and enhance our building so it may serve as a stronger tool for ministry for decades to come.


The Inspire Faith logo draws from the words of Matthew 5:14 to 16. An open book represents the Word of God as the source of light and life. From its center rises a flame, symbolizing the Holy Spirit and the call to live a faith that shines outward into the world. The design is intentionally asymmetrical. One page leans downward, reflecting how God reaches toward us through Jesus Christ. The opposite page lifts upward, representing our response to God in love, trust, and service.


The colors deepen this meaning. Red recalls the fire of Pentecost and the renewing work of the Spirit. Taupe reflects the grounding humility of Scripture. Blue speaks to steadfast faith and God’s constancy. Together these elements express the heart of the campaign. We are people rooted in the Word, ignited by the Spirit, and called to shine the light of Christ in our community.

“You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:14 to 16 (NIV)

Stories of generosity

2026 devotional

Welcome to a season of reflection and prayer as we journey together through the Inspire Faith capital campaign. We believe generosity begins as a spiritual practice, a faithful response to the grace God has poured into our lives. Before considering financial commitments to expand and renew our narthex and first floor, we invite you into a deeper conversation with God about what it means to live as a generous disciple of Christ. These improvements will create welcoming spaces where faith is nurtured, community is strengthened, and lives are touched for generations. Yet the true purpose goes beyond the building itself. Our hope is that these spaces become places where people encounter the living God, where faith is ignited, and where love is lived in tangible ways.


Continue reading to reflect on how generosity can inspire faith in your own life and in the life of this community.
