The Trinity

We believe that God is Triune: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all people, who rose to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.

the Bible

Our faith is based on Jesus as revealed in the Bible, the inspired Word of God. That Bible is the foundation of all our teaching and practice. We believe that the Bible's main purpose is to show us Jesus and that through Jesus we have eternal life. (John 20:30-31) Our sermons and studies are filled with the Good News of God's love and are rooted in the Word of God.

Baptism

Baptism is a second birth, the creation of a brand-new life begun in Christ and reaching its fullness on the day of resurrection. Baptism is open to all as Jesus invites the children to himself (Luke 18:15-17); calls on all nations to be baptized (Matthew 28:19); and gives his promise to all ages (Acts 2:38-39).

Being "Lutheran"

Our congregation accepts and preaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases: Grace alone (Romans 3:28) , Faith alone (Ephesians 2:8-9), Scripture alone (2 Timothy 3:16).
