Lutherans believe:

  • The One True God has revealed Himself in three persons: the Father Almighty; His Only Son – Jesus Christ; and the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit is one – equal in glory, coequal in majesty.
  • The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the sole atonement for the sins of all creation.
  • The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the sole atonement for the sins of all creation.
  • A person is saved from sin, Satan, and death by the grace of God the Father, through faith in Jesus, which is given by the Holy Spirit alone.
  • Faith in Jesus Christ is a work of God given through both being baptized into His Name and through hearing the proclamation of His Word.
  • The Church is the community of saints in which the Gospel is purely taught and the Sacraments of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion are rightly administered. The Church strives to walk together until our Lord returns. The simplest summary of our faith is contained in Dr. Luther’s Small Catechism.
  • We teach that all the teachings of the Church are most clearly developed in the Book of Concord.

Our congregation is a member of the English District of The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. More information about what we believe, teach, and confess can be found on those websites.
