New Promise Lutheran Church is to be a vital, Christ-centered witness to all God's
people—reaching out through the ministries of worship and sacrament, services and
education "for building up the body of Christ." (Ephesians 4:11-13)
New Promise Lutheran Church is a congregation which seeks to live boldly in the confidence
of God’s Promise of forgiveness, life, and salvation, and to make known the power
of that promise to make all things new.
New Promise Lutheran Church is a congregation of the ELCA located in St. George,
Utah. With the proximity of Snow Canyon, Zion National Park, and the Grand Canyon
we have constant reminders of the grace of God. Unlike these wonders of creation,
over 10 thousand years in the making, God’s work at New Promise has gone much quicker. New
Promise began in 1995 with about 12 people meeting in the basement of the St. George
Baptist Church. Today there are some 200 individuals at worship on a regular basis
and meeting in a beautiful new building on the West side of St. George. And yet,
we recognize that just as God is not finished with these canyons, we too are still
in the making. As individuals and as a congregation, God is still at work in us:
shaping us for his purpose, and calling us to live confidently in the promise of
God revealed in the cross of Christ.
