Our Beliefs
LUTHERAN CHURCH - MISSOURI SYNOD (LCMS)
Our congregation accepts and practices the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther,
who inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century.
The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases:
Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone.
Faith Alone
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all Time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness of sins and eternal life in heaven for all who believe in Him. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
Scripture Alone
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 only rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
Grace Alone
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him, and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus Christ, His only-begotten Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
