"Union and Faith” is a Mission of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America associated with the New York Metropolitan Synod.
Located at the former 'Avenue Diner', Unidad y Fe is a Lutheran Mission in Woodhaven. We are part of a movement to create a new world where everyone can flourish. Our mission involves not only being a safe gathering space for worship but to give back and be a beacon of resources to the community.
Our mission is to cultivate people
- With a living and active spirituality
- Who love others
- Who make a difference in their community
- Who help others using God's gifts
- Who grow in God every day
The fundamental values with which we guide ourselves are:
- Love for every human being and all creation, and reflection of God
- Consciousness of being a single Body, a single Family in God; our interpersonal treatment and community management are governed in accordance with that truth
- All called and all co-responsible for living according to God's call and carrying out our personal mission as a community of God
- Our center, guide, and compass is Christ: we seek to live like Him in our communities
