Lutheran Church
Missouri Synod Beliefs
Being "Lutheran,"
our congregation accepts and teaches Bible-based teachings of
Martin
Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in
the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be
summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone,
Scripture alone.
Grace alone
God loves the
people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him
and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the
unlovable and save the ungodly.
Faith
alone
By His suffering
and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus
purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who
hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it
offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness
through Him.
Scripture alone
The
Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals
His Law and His
Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and
norm for Christian doctrine
