Jesus has done everything necessary to accomplish the salvation of all people. Therefore, the Bible’s answer is very simple: “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved” (Acts 16:31).
Salvation does not come from “living a good life” or “trying to be a good person,” since “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). Salvation is a free gift of God, which comes through faith in Jesus Christ alone. “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
We are a congregation gathered around God's Word found in the pages of the Bible. We believe that it is the true and only foundation for faith in Jesus Christ. It is our final authority and the teachings we strive emulate.
A full summary of what we believe can be found in the pages of Luther's Small Catechism linked below:
The Ten Commandments outline God's good design for the world.
The Creed summarizes the story and work of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Jesus teaches us how to pray in The Lord's Prayer
In Baptism God adopts us as His children and welcomes us into His family.
When we confess our sins we trust that Jesus forgives us by taking our sins to His cross.
In Communion we are united with Jesus and all God's people across the ages.
We are in partnership with our Brothers and Sisters across the Synod in the United States and around the world.
