What do you believe?
Grace Alone
Faith Alone
Scripture Alone
We believe that salvation is a free gift of God's Grace through the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We believe we cannot through our own actions to earn God's love and forgiveness. It is God's Grace alone that brings salvation to sinful mankind.
We believe we cannot come to Faith in Jesus on our own, but by the work of the Holy Spirit, who brings us to Faith and grows our Faith by hearing His Word - The Holy Bible, by Holy Baptism and by Holy Communion.

We believe that Scripture is the only rule and norm for faith and life. It is His inspired true Words to us.
We believe over 500 years ago that Martin Luther brought the Christian faith back to this understanding in the Reformation. Click here to download a brochure with more information about what Lutherans believe.

Who is Jesus?
We believe Jesus is who He said He is in the Holy Bible. He is true God and true man. He is the Christ, which means the Messiah - the Savior of the world. He, at once, is both the Son of God, and part of the one true God, who comes to us in 3 persons - God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is the Beginning and the End. He was born of a virgin, suffered and died on the cross for our sins and on the third day rose from the dead and ascended into heaven. We believe Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life and that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
