In the Triune God -- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ the Son of God reveals to us the very heart of the Father.

We are saved by grace through faith -- this is not our own doing, but it is the gift of God!

We are baptized into the death of Jesus Christ and raised in his resurrection power to walk in newness of life.

These are at the core of our faith in the Holy Trinity.  For more on what we believe, read on...

OUR CONFESSION OF FAITH*

This congregation confesses the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

This congregation confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.

Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.

The proclamation of God’s message to us as both Law and Gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy through word and deed, beginning with the Word in creation, continuing in the history of Israel, and centering in all its fullness in the person and work of Jesus Christ.

The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the written Word of God.  Inspired by God’s Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God’s revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God’s Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.

This congregation accepts the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source and norm of its proclamation, faith, and life.

This congregation accepts the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the faith of this congregation.

This congregation accepts the Unaltered Augsburg Confession as a true witness to the Gospel, acknowledging as one with it in faith and doctrine all churches that likewise accept the teachings of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.

This congregation accepts the other confessional writings in the Book of Concord, namely, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles and the Treatise, the Small Catechism, the Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord, as further valid interpretations of the faith of the Church.

This congregation confesses the Gospel, recorded in the Holy Scripture and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran confessional writings, as the power of God to create and sustain the Church for God’s mission in the world.

WHAT WE VALUE:

We are the church that shares a living, daring confidence in God's grace.  Liberated by our faith, we embrace you as a whole person — questions, complexities and all.

The Church's story is both ancient and timely.  It’s a story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people of the world.  It’s a story that brings deep meaning, comfort and strength to a growing community of people who live in modern, often unsettling times.

Lutherans are a diverse group of people, convinced that the Holy Spirit is leading us toward unity in the household of God.

As members of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America are connected to the faith of the church through the ages and around the world.

Lutherans believe in the Triune God. We are part of God’s unfolding plan.

When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere and of every time.

When we study the Bible and pray, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story.

When we serve others and address social issues that affect the common good, we live out our Christian faith.

We invite you into this community of Christian faith.

Welcome, and explore!
