Mission Statement,
what we believe
Our Mission is to be connected with Christ Jesus and that He uses
us to bring others to meet Him. We carry out Christ's mission by
∙ proclaiming the Word of God.
∙ the administration of the Sacraments.
∙ religious instruction of youth and adults according to the doctrinal
standard of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod.
∙ fostering Christian fellowship and charity.
WE BELIEVE the entire Bible is the Word of God, given by
inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is the only source for our
teachings and beliefs.
WE BELIEVE all people are sinners and sin separates us from God.
WE BELIEVE the Good News, that God,
through His Son, Jesus
Christ reconciled the world to Himself. Jesus died and rose again
on
Easter morning in order to pay the penalty for sin and free us from it's
power. This forgiveness and new life is offered to everyone.
It is
received by faith as a free gift from God.
WE BELIEVE Baptism and Holy
Communion are means by which
the Holy Spirit of God comes to His people to create and nourish
faith.
WE BELIEVE although we are not perfect, we are forgiven in Christ.
WE BELIEVE worship is important and
Christian people need to
worship the Lord with other Christians.
WE BELIEVE those who believe in
Jesus as the Son of God and
Savior of the world will live forever in the presence of God.
WE BELIEVE the grace and love of
our Lord Jesus Christ should
permeate throughout all our congregational dealings, teachings, and
worship.
