About Us - What We Believe
Our Basic Beliefs
Last Updated On: Thursday April 10, 2008

To condense the entire body of our doctrine into this modest website is a challenging task, so what follows are some of the basic beliefs of Lutherans.
Lutherans confess God as Father and creator of the universe.
We believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His death on the cross, His burial, His resurrection on the third day, His ascension into Heaven, and His promised return.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the One sent from God the Father to empower the church and believers.
Jesus Christ is the only means of salvation.  We are saved from the penalty of our sin by God's grace alone, received through faith alone, not on account of our own good works.
We believe that all people are created in the image of God, have been forgiven through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to live lives in service to God and neighbors.
Jesus Christ ascended into heaven following his resurrection from the dead and is coming back to this earth one day to raise the dead and judge all mankind.
The Bible is the true word of God and is the only source for our spiritual beliefs
Lutherans understand that God comes to us through the means of Grace, the Word of God and the Sacraments of Baptism and Communion. Through them, God helps us understand and receive the benefits of a relationship with Him. God graciously speaks to us through the Law - what we need to do, and through the Gospel - what he has done for us.
