What We Believe

As a member congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, lcms.org, we believe in the Triune God:   Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  This is the God Christians have confessed faith in for centuries with the words of the Nicene Creed (see below). 

This God has made himself known through the words of the bible, which we believe to be the inspired and inerrant word of God.  We believe Luther’s Small Catechism is a faithful summary of the main teachings of the Bible.  For more information on our beliefs contact the church office and ask for one of the pastors. 

I believe in one God,

      the Father Almighty,

      maker of heaven and earth

      and of all things visible and invisible.

  And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

      the only-begotten Son of God,

      begotten of His Father before all worlds,

  God of God, Light of Light,

      very God of very God,

      begotten, not made,

      being of one substance with the Father,

  by whom all things were made;

      who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven

       and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary

       and was made man;

       and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

   He suffered and was buried.

  And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures

       and ascended into heaven

       and sits at the right hand of the Father.

  And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,

     whose kingdom will have no end.

  And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

      the Lord and giver of life,

      who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

      who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,

      who spoke by the prophets.

   And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,

  I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

  and I look for the resurrection of the dead

  and the life of the world to come. Amen.
