what we believe

We are nationally affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America.      http://www.elca.org

Lutherans are Christians who accept the teachings of Martin Luther (1483 - 1546).

Lutherans celebrate the Reformation on October 31 and still hold to the basic principles of Luther’s theological teachings, such as Grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone. These comprise the very essence of Lutheranism:

  • We are saved by the grace of God alone -- not by anything we do;
  • Our salvation is through faith alone -- a confident trust in God, who in Christ promises us forgiveness, life and salvation; and
  • The Bible is the norm for faith and life -- the true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
