We Believe, Teach and Confess The true God is the Triune God; Father, Son and Holy Spirit as revealed in Scripture and confessed in the Creeds of the Church. Jesus Christ, true God and man, reconciled all people to God through His substitutionary life, death on the cross and resurrection. The Bible is God's Holy Word, given by inspiration to reveal to man his sin (Law) and God's plan of salvation in Jesus Christ (Gospel). God has given the Church two sacraments: Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper. Through these the Holy Spirit grants forgiveness of sins and strengthening of faith. Man is saved by God's grace alone, for Christ's sake, through faith in the Gospel.

Our Way of Worship The Lutheran Church worships God with a prescibed liturgy. Our worship is a living expression of our relationship with God. He speaks to us in judgement and grace in the proclamation of forgiveness of sins, Scripture readings and sermon. He personally comes to us with forgiveness in the Gospel and Sacraments. We respond in hymns, prayers, confessions of faith and the offering. Lutheran Worship centers in Christ. Our church follows an annual cycle of readings and responses which unfold God's eternal plan of salvation in the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
