Beliefs
With the universal Christian Church, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the Father,
creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer
and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the
ultimate victory over death and Satan, and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith
through God’s Word and the Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are
coequal and coeternal, one God.
Being “Lutheran“, our congregation accepts and teaches the
Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the
Christian Church in the 16th Century. The teachings of Luther and the reformers
can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Scripture alone, Faith
alone.
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,
His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
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 sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
Faith Alone
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.
