What we believe

What we teach

The Bible

We teach that the Holy Bible is the Living Word of God and functions as the authority in matters of faith and life (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105).

God

We teach that there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternally existing in three persons: The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit (Matthew 3:16-17, 28:19, Colossians 1:15-20).

Jesus Christ

We teach that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human, who by His death and resurrection has redeemed us (Isaiah 9:6, John 11:25, Colossians 1:15-20).

The Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit is truly present at work in the community of believers. Its gifts vary from person to person and no one is left out (1 Corinthians 12:4-7, John 20:22).

Human Nature

We teach that no one is perfect and that everyone has sin and needs the grace, love and forgiveness of God (Romans 3:23).

Prayer

We are a people of prayer and believe that God will answer prayer and longs for all of us to grow in prayer (Philippians 4:4-7, James 5:16).

Baptism and the Lord's Supper

We believe, teach and confess that Jesus is truly present in, with and under the elements of water, bread and wine nourishing our lives on earth with the gifts (Matthew 28:16-20,, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26).

Our Lutheran Heritage and Identity

We believe, teach, and confess our faith in the Lutheran reformation theses of: grace through faith alone, scripture alone, and Christ alone! A relationship with God is a gift not an accomplishment (Hebrews 11:1-3, Psalm 119:105, Romans 12:1-8)!
