Our Mission and Vision

  Hebron Lutheran Church enjoys and is comfortable with our traditional approach to word and sacrament. We are blessed in having a beautiful structure and organ for conducting worship. Hebron has utilized modern technology for sharing our worship experience with those unable to attend Sunday worship. We continue to upgrade our equipment to provide better presentation. However, our aging membership is making it necessary to visit more of our members to share the sacraments and Christian fellowship. This is an area that will require nurturing in the near future. 

 Hebron is a community of believers that enjoys getting together. Historically Hebron has gathered to share meals. These include our 5th Sunday dinners right after the church service, Lenten soup meals, Shrove Tuesday Pancake supper, Germana Homecoming Lunch, celebrations of life, summer picnics, and Thanksgiving dinners. The fellowship of a Christian community is a key component to the welfare of both the church in general and our members. We rely on each other to help us through the difficult times and celebrate our joys. The fellowship hall provides a physical space for serving meals and holding meetings. This fellowship is an element for the attraction of new members moving into the community. People move into the area and desire a social network of Christian friends. We are evaluating the establishment of quarterly “Welcome Wagon” meetings. This will introduce new people to the potential of Hebron Lutheran Church but also introduce them to the community in general (where to shop and medical support). Fellowship is a tool to attract new members. .

 Hebron has several programs that provide for the less fortunate members of the Madison community and beyond. These include Loaves and Fishes that provides meals for elementary school age children. The quilters provide beautiful quilts to people in Appalachia. The quilters are a good example of both fellowship and outreach.  Hebron shares our history with many visitors who are tracking family lineages. Our library is used by historians and people conducting genealogical research. Hebron Lutheran Church sponsors a Fall Bazaar which has objectives of attracting local people to the potential of Hebron and as a fund-raiser.  Our Christmas Giving Tree traditionally provides gifts for 20-30 children who would not have gifts. Hebron provides meeting space for AA.
