What We Believe

We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and without error.
That the Scriptures teach that all people are born with a sinful nature and need a Savior in order to have a right relationship with God.
That God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be the Savior of the world.
That forgiveness of sins and eternal life in heaven are received by faith in Christ alone.
That the Holy Spirit within the church calls, gathers, and grants us faith in Jesus comes by the proclamation of the Word, in the forgiveness of sins given in Absolution, in the washing of Holy Baptism, and in the body and blood of Jesus given in the Lord’s Supper.
That we are called to tell others of the forgiveness and life that comes only by faith in Jesus Christ, and to show our faith by our love for one another. For more information on our beliefs or practices, visit www.lcms.org.
