Statement of Faith

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God and is the Lord and Savior of all who affirm their faith in Him.

We accept the Old and the New Testament as the Word of God and joyfully submit to this as the only infallible authority in all matters of faith and life.

We recognize that individual justification in God's sight comes from Grace alone through faith.

We accept John 3:3, that "Unless one is born anew, he cannot see the Kingdom of God." We recognize that God speaks to individuals in different ways, that each will have his/her own form of "new birth" experience.

We acknowledge Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper to be instruments by which God manifests His grace upon us.

We recognize the ministry of the Holy Spirit as empowering the Church and its members to carry out its mission and to bring glory to Christ.

We allow for differences of opinion in matters of interpretation and doctrine within the context of Biblical guidelines, historical Christianity, and the Lutheran Confessions
