Lutherans believe the scriptures to be the inspired Word of God having authority over our lives.Lutherans believe salvation has been won by Christ and is given as a free, unmerited gift of God. We use the phrase “justified by grace through faith” to emphasize God’s action.
Lutherans understand God as triune—Father, Son and Holy Spirit as one God—as expressed in the creeds.
Lutherans celebrate two sacraments—Baptism and Holy Communion.
Each person shares the ministry of the church as expressed in the priesthood of all believers.
We believe the Church is the Body of Christ and functions to accomplish God’s purpose.
We live a Christian life in thankfulness to God for giving the gift of His Son. Our thankfulness is expressed in our worship of God and our service to others.
