OUR BELIEFS

Children and adults gathered in a church or community hall, some standing and clapping, participating in a group activity or celebration.

What We Believe

  • We believe the Bible is God’s Word, inspired, authoritative, inerrant, and life-giving.

  • We believe salvation is freely given to all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ, God’s Son, who died for our sins and rose again.

  • We uphold and gladly confess the three ancient, ecumenical creeds, the Augsburg Confession, and Luther’s Small Catechism as faithful summaries and interpretations of God’s Word.

For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.
