What we believe
The Bible is God’s inspired, inerrant Word.
(Ps. 119:105, Tim. 3:15-17)
God is one Being, yet three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
(Deut. 6:4, Mat. 28:19)
The penalty for those who sin is eternal death.
(Ezek. 18:20, Rom. 6:23)
Man is full of sin from conception.
(Ps. 51:5, Eph. 2:1-3)
Jesus’ death on the cross has paid for everyone’s sins.
(Isa. 53: 4-6, Rom. 3:23-26)
God saves us through faith in Christ alone.
(John 3:16 Eph. 2:8-9)
Saving faith is a gift of God, not a work of man.
(1 Cor 12:3, Eph. 1:19-20)
Through Baptism, God forgives and saves us.

Infants also are to be baptized.

The bread and wine of the Supper are the very Body and Blood of Christ given for forgiveness.
(Matt. 26:26-28, 1 Cor. 11:23-29)
God established the office of the holy ministry to preach the Gospel and administer these Sacraments.
(Matt. 28:16-20, Eph. 4:11-12)
God gives this office only to men.
(1 Cor 14:34-35, 1 Tim. 2:11-14)
Believers can fall away from the faith.
(Luke 8:13, 1 Tim. 1:18-20)
God alone keeps us steadfast in the faith.
(1 Cor. 1:4-9, 1 Jo. 5:6-13)
Upon death, believers’ souls are taken to heaven, while those of unbelievers go to hell.
(Luke 16:22-23, Heb. 9:27)
On the Last Day, Christ will come again, all the dead will be raised, and the final judgement will occur.
(Matt. 24:30-44, 1 Cor. 15:51-52)
Who we are
We are an assembly of those who are gathered by the Spirt of the Lord around His saving Word and Sacraments. At the center of our life together is the Divine Service of
Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. By His Holy Cross and Resurrection, we are given forgiveness and new life in His Name.
We invite you to share with us in these gifts and to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord. Through Him, we are called out of darkness and into God’s marvelous light.
