Statement of Faith

Created by the father, redeemed by the son, and prompted by the spirit...

 

We believe in the Triune God—God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. We acknowledge one God in these three persons.

 

We believe that God, the Father almighty created heaven and earth.

 

We believe that, Jesus Christ, God’s only son our lord was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary and is fully God and fully man. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus made it possible for all people to live in a relationship with God. We believe that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Through Him and Him alone can people enter a relationship with God.

 

We believe that the Holy Spirit is the presence of Jesus Christ among us. Through Him God loves us, empowers us and lives in us. The Spirit gives gifts of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control to all believers.

 

We believe that the Bible is the Word of God. Through it, God reveals Himself to us. The entire Bible is God-breathed and God-inspired. The Old and New Testaments are the norm and guide upon which we base our faith.

 

We believe that the holy Christian church, made up of all believers, is the body of Christ. As His Body, we are called to worship him, serve him, and go and make followers of all people.

 

We believe and accept confessions of the Lutheran Church, especially the following: The Apostolic, the Nicene, and the Athanasian Creeds; the Unaltered Augsburg Confession; Luther’s Small Catechism; and the Book of Concord of 1580. We affirm the centrality of grace alone, faith alone, and Word alone.

 

We believe in and practice the Sacrament of Baptism. We believe that through the waters of Baptism, God comes to us to adopt us as His children. Through Baptism, God gives the gift of new life. We affirm the baptism of infants.

 

We believe in and practice the Sacrament of Holy Communion. We believe that through the Lord's Supper, God comes to love us and forgive us. It is a meal of renewal. Jesus is really present in the meal.

 

We believe in the worth and value of the human being. Created in God's image, humans have dignity. Their worth is dependent not on accomplishments, but on God's love.


We believe that humanity is separated from God because of sin. We believe that Jesus took upon himself the sins of the world and died on the cross in our place as our substitute. Jesus completely paid the penalty for all our sins, past, present, and future. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, God was able to satisfy his perfect righteousness and justice while at the same time demonstrating his amazing love and mercy. It is forgiveness that restores fallen humanity's worth.

 

We believe in and anticipate the return of Jesus Christ. Though we don't know the day or hour of his second coming, we attempt to live in readiness.
