Who We Are
At Lutheran Church of the Foothills, we believe faith is a journey shaped by God’s love, not rules or requirements. Here’s what guides us every step of the way:
Set free by grace.
We believe grace is a pure gift, given freely by God to all. It’s not something we can earn or lose. Through Jesus, we see how deeply God loves us. Grace shapes how we live and treat one another and moves us to respond with gratitude and joy.
Inclusive of all.
From the very beginning, the Bible tells us that everyone is created in God’s image. That’s why everyone is welcome here — loved, valued, and celebrated just as they are. We work to be a community where belonging isn’t just a word but a way of life.
Joyfully generous.
God’s generosity inspires ours. We share our time, talents, and resources to make a difference in Tucson and around the world.
Committed to justice.
When we look at Jesus’ life, we see a passion for justice—lifting up the vulnerable, standing with the outcast, and healing the brokenhearted. We follow his example by learning, serving, and standing up for others.
Come see for yourself.
Wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome here. We’d love to meet you and walk alongside you.
