As a congregation of The
Lutheran Church- Missouri Synod we believe, teach, and confess...........
That there is One God in Three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
historically and confessionally called 'The Holy Trinity" by
the Church;
- That God the Father sent God the Son, Jesus Christ who is true God
and true Man, into the world to suffer and die upon the Cross as the
divine sacrifice for all the sins of all who have ever lived and will
ever live, thus, reconciling sinners unto Himself through the sacrifice
of His Son;
- That God the Father and God the Son sent God the Holy Spirit into
the world to convict sinners of their sin through His inspired and
inerrant Word of Law and to create and sustain justifying faith in
Jesus Christ within them through His inspired and inerrant Word of
Gospel as it is preached and personally applied to penitent sinners
through Absolution and Baptism and the Lord's Supper and through His
Means of Grace delivers to them the forgiveness of sins and the strengthening
of their faith ;
- That God graciously descends to serve His people during the Divine
Services of His Church whose historic liturgy prepares them to rightly
hear His Word proclaimed and receive His Sacraments as they are faithfully
administered by His called and ordained pastors.
