I am Rev. Dr. Andrew Watkins, Pastor of Grace Lutheran Church. We are Christians who live in the southern tier of upstate New York. We were established as a congregation in 1950. We are members of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod. We are active in our community and build vital connections through relationships. It is all about relationships. God did not send a program, nor an email, nor an abstract idea. God sent His Son, to be flesh and blood, and to live the perfect life we could not accomplish. We love God because he loved us first. His love is unconditional. Therefore, we have a desire to share God’s love through purposefully building relationships as described in our congregational vision.
