Our Core Beliefs
There is only One God, eternally existent in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
That all humans are fallen creatures, and our salvation is only by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and is only through the Spirit working through the Means of Grace.
That the Means of Grace proclaims our salvation and enables us to live out our faith, declaring the light of Christ in the darkness where God has placed us to make disciples.
We are here to glorify God and to love and serve all people in body and soul.
The resurrection of both the saved and lost: those who are saved into the resurrection of life and those who are lost into the resurrection of damnation.
The Bible is the inspired, inerrant, authoritative, living Word of God and the only source of absolute truth.
The Lutheran Confessions are a correct exposition of the truths of the Scriptures.
Our Values
We are compelled by God’s love for the world.
We are completely reliant upon the Holy Spirit working through Word and Sacraments; therefore, these are our primary instruments.
We see local congregations as the primary venue for discipleship and Gospel outreach.
We proclaim God’s inspired Word as correctly understood in our Lutheran Confessions.
We are committed to one another as the Body of Christ.
We glorify God as we proclaim His Word, and love and serve all people’s earthly and eternal needs.
We are committed to lifelong discipleship, including Lutheran Education in all its forms.
We believe discipleship is most effective when there is a culture of joy, loving acceptance, community, and caring admonition.
