Grace Alone

God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.

Faith Alone

By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.

Scripture Alone

The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine. To learn more specifically what we teach and preach, our doctrine, we invite you to view the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod's website, which explains in detail what we believe.

We Believe…

On the basis of the Holy Scriptures we believe the article of the Holy Trinity; that is, we believe that the one true god is the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit—One God in Three Persons.

According to the Holy Scriptures, God is perfect and holy. He created humanity perfect and holy, too, but our parents sinned bringing death into the world and separation from our just and holy God.

Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, took on human flesh and was the only one to live without sin, perfectly keeping all the commands of God the Father. He willingly suffered and died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sins of all people. His sacrifice on our behalf unites all believers to God the Father. Jesus physically, bodily rose from the dead on the third day.

Christ now rules in heaven as King of Kings. On the Last Day, He will return to earth, raise the dead, and give believers eternal life and all others eternal punishment in hell.

God the Holy Spirit works through the means of grace to create and sustain faith in us. The means of grace are:

• Thew Word of God, including Holy Scripture, through which the Holy Spirit guides and teaches us.

• Holy Baptism through which we are adopted into the family of God and united with Christ.

• The Lord’s Supper in which Christ gives us his body and blood to eat and drink for the forgiveness of sins.

• Confession and Absolution in which the pastor delivers the forgiveness of sins won by Christ on the cross.

We believe all human life from conception to natural death is sacred, precious, and to be protected. According to the Scriptures, the basis of the family is the life-long marriage of a man and a woman, therefore sex outside of marriage, homosexuality, and cohabitation are against God’s will.

Christians are called to live their faith through deeds of love toward others and to tell people that the only way to salvation is by faith in Jesus Christ.
