Emanuel and Bethel Lutheran have been in joint ministry for many years. While both are unique in their settings and the call they feel from God, they have seen it an expression of their faith and wise use of their resources to jointly call a pastor to walk with them in their faith lives.
Both congregations are ELCA Lutheran, and live out that expression of the Christian Faith with beauty and grace.
They are members of the Eastern Washington/Idaho Synod, which is a Reconciled in Christ Synod.
