What We Believe What We Believe:
As Lutheran Christians
we stand with the church of the ages and confess the faith of the Holy Bible,
which is God's Word. We believe that our triune God created man and woman holy; however, since we sinned and still sin we cannot free ourselves from
sin and death. Therefore God sent His Son Jesus Christ, who is our
only way to salvation. By His death and resurrection and through no
work or decision of our own, we have forgiveness, life, and salvation.
We joyfully receive these gifts in His Word, and in the holy sacraments
of
Baptism and the Lord's Supper. In all our teaching and preaching we seek to be faithful to God's holy
Law which shows our sin, and to proclaim His precious Gospel which is the good news of our
salvation in Christ! We subscribe also to Luther's Small Catechism
and the other documents in the Book of Concord of 1580 because they faithfully confess these biblical truths. According to our constitution, we acknowledge the canonical books of the Old and New Testament
as the revealed and inerrant Word of God, verbally inspired, and
submit to them as the only infallible authority in all matters of
faith and life.
We also acknowledge and accept all the confessional writings of the Evangelical Lutheran Church, contained in the Book of Concord of the year 1580. These documents explain a correct understanding of the Bible, and are what set us apart as "Lutheran" Christians.
