HOW A "VENTURE" BECAME A JOURNEY

Town and Country Lutheran Church and School were founded on a strong faith in God's leadership, and our congregation knows what it means to step out in faith.
We are motivated by the need to worship God, to instruct believers, and to share God's grace with our community.
Nearly sixty years ago, the seeds for Town and Country Lutheran Church were planted. With little more than a vicar and $95 to get a car in working order so he could make visits on the then "rural" area of Sacramento, our church was begun. In obedience to God, the founders of Town and Country began to meet in homes and then a community hall in Del Paso Heights. Sensing a need to increase their ministry, this young congregation bought land and chose the theme, "A Venture of Faith" for their effort. The word "venture" surely captured what this small band of believers sought to accomplish, for it means "an undertaking attended with risk or danger." A risk, yes, but with FAITH added to the equation, it was clear that they put their complete trust in the Lord to accomplish their goal.
How fitting then that we, as God's people in this day and time, have chosen "Our Journey of Faith" as the title of our capital campaign effort. We wish to continue what those faithful folks began, reaching out to present and future generations with our ministry of Grace.

OUR NEED IS TO UPDATE AND EXPAND

While the simple problems of space and aging buildings are obvious, the desire to provide a plan with a long-term vision and a church for the next generation also motivates us.

OUR NEEDS

To refurbish and expand the current parish hall into a multi-use facility, enabling us to increase our ministry opportunities to the whole family of God.
To update and build classroom spaces for our day school and parish education use, providing the best possible environment for Christian education.

THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON OUR RESPONSE

Now is the time! Inadequate fellowship space limits our ability to provide a full range of activities for our own congregation or to reach out to our community in significant ways. Classrooms in need of refurbishing do not foster the best possible environment for the Christ-centered education our school wants to provide. In short, our facilities can dictate and limit our mission. What opportunities are we missing? Updated and expanded facilities will open up the possibility for new ministries as the future unfolds and we welcome people from our community into our family at Town and Country Lutheran Church.

OUR PLAN IS TO UPDATE AND EXPAND

All the hard work of our Building Committee resulted in an initial master plan for Town and Country. Recently, the committee has been presented with some alternative approaches to building that may enable us to maximize the dollars designated for Our Journey of Faith.
