Our Mission:
We the congregation, with God's love and guidance of the Holy Spirit, unite to share in God's mission by nurturing its members in the Word of God so as to grow in faith, love, and hope. We will carry out Christ's Great Commission by reaching out to all people to bring them to faith in Christ by prayer and action.
Our Beliefs: Grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone - We are saved by the grace of God alone -- not by anything we do
- Our salvation is through faith alone -- we only need to trust God made
known in Christ who promises us forgiveness, life and salvation
- The Bible is the norm for faith and life -- the true standard by which
teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
Lutherans are Christians who accept the teachings of Martin Luther (1483–1546). Luther was a German theologian who realized that there were significant differences between what he read in the Bible and the practices of the Roman Catholic church at that time. On October 31, 1517, he posted a challenge on the door of Wittenberg University, titled “95 Theses” (to debate 95 theological issues). His hope was that the church would reform its practice and preaching to be more consistent with the Word of God as contained in the Bible.
Over the years, different Lutheran church bodies have been established and organized to meet the needs of Lutherans in communities and nations all over the world. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is the largest Lutheran group in North America, founded in 1988 when three North American Lutheran church bodies united: The American Lutheran Church, the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches and the Lutheran Church in America.
