GOD
We believe that the only true God is the Triune God; one God made of three distinct and separate persons: The Father, who creates and preserves all things; The Son, who redeems the world by His death and resurrection; and The Holy Spirit who brings and keeps people in saving faith in Jesus Christ.
We believe that God desires all people to be saved and know the truth. God loves all people and wants them to come to love Him and each other. We are sinful at birth, alienated from God and must be born again in faith.

The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a denomination that confesses the historic, orthodox Christian faith, a faith built on “the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone” (Eph. 2:20)..
JESUS
We believe that God so loved people that He sent His only Son Jesus to rescue us from our lost condition. Jesus Christ is both God and man. Jesus gave His life as the perfect sacrifice for our sins, resulting in our forgiveness and acceptance before God the Father. Those who believe and are baptized will be saved; those who do not believe will not be saved.
THE CHURCH
We believe that through the Church God equips and empowers believers to serve Him by serving others and sharing the good news about Jesus. God has uniquely gifted each person to do good works which He expects His children to do. It is not good for people to live in isolation. God intends for us to share His love with nonbelievers and believers alike through intentional relationships. The Christian faith is best lived in close relationships with other people. Our greatest purpose in life is to bring others into a saving relationship with Jesus their Savior.
HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit brings us to and keeps us in saving faith through God’s Word, Holy Baptism and The Lord’s Supper.
We cannot believe in Jesus or come to Him without the assistance of the Holy Spirit.
God’s Word is true, without error, divinely inspired, powerful and has the ability to change lives.
Through baptism the Holy Spirit offers all people new life, and makes us God’s children.
In Holy Communion, Jesus offers believers His body and blood under forms of bread and wine for Christians to eat and drink. In Holy Communion God offers believers the forgiveness of sins and increases the depth of their faith.
