What We Believe

God is three persons in one:

the Father, creator of all that exists;

Jesus Christ, the Son, who was sent to become human to suffer and die for all people, and to rise to life again in victory over death and Satan; and 

the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments.

All are coequal and coeternal, one God.

We accept and preach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther who inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teachings of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.

Grace Alone 

     God loves the people of the world, even though we are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.

Faith Alone 

     By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all tie, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them.  Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. Through our faith in Him our sins are forgiven.

Scripture Alone

     The Bible is God's infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.

Who is Jesus?

God is three persons in one. Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Bible is God's word. Sin exists in every person. 

We believe in a triune God, (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit).  We believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
