What We Believe

Lutherans believe that . . .

• There is one God, Creator and Preserver of all things.

• The Bible is God's Word which calls people to Jesus Christ.

• Everyone, because of sin, is separated from God and deserves to be punished for his or her sin.

• God, in His mercy, moved by His perfect love, created a plan to save people from their sins.

• Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, God has forgiven our sins and promises us eternal life with Him.

• It is through faith that we receive forgiveness, peace and new life.

• Through the power of the Holy Spirit, God enables us to serve Him and our fellowman.

• There are two Sacraments: The Lord’s Supper and Baptism.
