As a congregation
of The Lutheran Church -- Missouri Synod, we teach and respond
to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists;
Jesus Christ, the Son who became human to suffer and die for the sins
of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory
over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity
are coequal and coeternal, one God.
Our congregation accepts and teaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the Reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Scripture alone, Faith alone.
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.
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 basis for Lutheran doctrine.
Faith Alone – By His suffering and
death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus won for them
forgiveness and eternal life. Those who hear this Good
News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers.
