As a Lutheran
congregation, we espouse the Bible-based teachings of Martin
Luther.
These teachings,
which inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the
16th Century, are embodied in three short phrases:
Grace alone ...
We believe that God loves the people of
the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do
not deserve His love.
He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the
unlovable
and save the ungodly.
Scripture alone
...
We believe that The
Bible is God's inerrant and 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.
Faith alone ...
We believe that by
His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all
time, 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. God creates faith in Christ and
gives people forgiveness through Him.
