As Lutheran Christians,
we believe . . .
THE BIBLE is the inspired Word of God without error or contradiction, and is God’s authoritative Word for today.
GOD is one God who exists in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. (Acts 16:31)
MAN was created by God a perfect being with body and soul, but fell into sin and separated himself from God. As a result, all people need to be restored to God by the forgiveness of their sins, through Jesus Christ.
JESUS CHRIST, God “in the flesh” (John 1:14), came to this earth, was born of a virgin, lived a perfect life for us, took the punishment for our sins upon Himself when He died on the cross, and rose again bodily. Through this sacrificial gift of love, He grants salvation, peace with God, and eternal life to all who receive Him by faith.
THIS SALVATION is a free “gift of God” (Romans 6:23) which cannot be earned by trusting in the good things we have done, but rather by trusting only in what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross. The question, “What must I do to be saved?”, is answered clearly, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.” (Acts 16:31)
THIS SAVING FAITH is created and sustained by the Holy Spirit, who lives in our hearts. He works through the Means of Grace: Baptism, the Lord’s Supper , and the Word of God.
THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS, accompanied by the resurrection of the dead and the final judgment, may be anticipated with joy and confidence, by His forgiven people.
“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you”
Matthew 28: 19-20
