How did you find Community?

We found Community Lutheran after searching many churches in the county. We were looking for a place that would welcome us and help us grow in our faith. After our first visit we knew that Community was a place where we would stay. We recently starting helping with A/V at Sunday services and are glad to be involved. 

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Carlsbad and then went to Boston for school. Jonathan grew up all over California. His family moved often and traveled in their RV in summers allowing him to see many places. 

What do you do for work/fun?

We like to hike, go to the beach, spend time with our family, and travel when we can. I am an electrical engineer and am trying to build a career designing circuit boards. Jonathan is finishing up his degree in Human Resources Management.

WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY TREE PROJECT? 

Community Lutheran Church is a growing congregation worshiping 550 people between two campuses each week. As we continue grow, it is important that our relationships with one another continue to grow as well.  Over the coming months, our church website and Facebook page will be introducing you to a member of Community that you may or may not know yet. You’ll have the opportunity to learn a little about each member and delight in the different personalities and lifestyles that come together each week to worship our Savior.

When you join us for worship on Sunday mornings or events throughout the week, we encourage you to reach out and connect with someone you don’t normally talk to. As Pastor Vogelsang so eloquently reminds us, we are all “dear Christian friends.” We just don’t know each other yet! I’d like to change that one photo at a time.

"So that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it." - 1 Corinthians 12:25-27
