What We Believe

As Lutherans We Believe:

  • That the Holy Bible is the infallible and inerrant Word of God, and is the only source for Christian faith and doctrine.
  • That our God is one God in Three Persons, the FATHER who has created us, the SON who has redeemed us from all sin, and the HOLY SPIRIT who calls us to faith through the Word and continues to keep us in faith.
  • That we as humans live under the deadly consequences of sin, and are unable to win our own way back to God alone.
  • That Jesus is the divine Son of God, who took our place through His perfect life and by His death on the cross, to pay the punishment for our sins and win a place for us in heaven.
  • That we are saved solely by God’s rich and lavish grace, through faith in Jesus and the promises of His Gospel.
  • That by Word and Sacrament, God the Holy Spirit creates and nurtures faith in God’s people, enabling us to enabling us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind; and love our neigbor as ourself.

Holy Communion:

We believe that Christ Jesus invites baptized members of His church to attend Holy Communion in order to experience the forgiveness of sins which He earned for us on the cross. We believe that our Lord is truly present in this Sacrament. When we take part of this meal, we receive His Body and Blood in, with, and under the bread and wine. If this is also your faith, you are welcome to join us for Holy Communion.
