What We Believe
As Lutherans, we profess our faith in the
Triune God - Father, ☩ Son, and Holy Spirit - according to the three ecumenical creeds: Apostles' Creed, Nicene Creed, & Athanasian Creed.
The Holy Trinity
We believe and confess our faith in the
Triune God – Father, ☩ Son, and Holy Spirit.
We trust and believe in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord,
who is both fully God and fully man.
The Reality of Sin
We believe and confess that all human beings are sinners, and that sinners are redeemed by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. God alone justifies human beings by grace through faith in Christ – a faith that God creates through the message of the Gospel.
Holy Scripture
We believe and confess that the Bible is God’s revealed Word to us, spoken in Law and Gospel. The Bible is the final authority for us in all matters of our faith and life.
The Sacraments
We believe that a sacrament is the Word of God yoked with an earthly element which offers the recipient the forgiveness of their sins. Baptism and Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper) are the two sacraments in the Lutheran Tradition.
~ Baptism: By the power of the Holy Spirit, the water in Baptism is made holy
~ Holy Eucharist: In this sacrament the crucified and risen Christ is Present, giving his true body and blood as food and drink. This real presence is a mystery.
Lutheran Confessions / Book of Concord
We accept and uphold that the Lutheran Confessions reliably guide us as faithful interpretations of Scripture, and that we share a unity and fellowship in faith with others among whom the Gospel of Jesus Christ is preached and the sacraments are administered in accordance with the Gospel.
Priesthood of All Believers
We believe and confess that the Holy Spirit makes all who believe in Jesus Christ to be priests for service to others in Jesus’ name, and that God desires to make use of the spiritual gifts he has given through the priesthood of all believers.
The Mission of the Church
We believe and confess that the church is the assembly of believers called and gathered by God around Word and Sacrament, and that the mission and ministry of the church is carried out within the context of individual congregations, which are able to work together locally and globally.
