WHAT WE BELIEVE
Lutherans believe in the Triune God, made present to us—and with us—in Jesus of Nazareth. God created and loves all of creation — the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his ministry on earth, his death on the cross and his new life. We trust that God’s Spirit is active in the world.
We are all part of God’s unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God’s word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story. When we work as individuals and as a community to serve our neighbors and our world, we are part of that story and part of God’s creative love. In times of stress, in times of sorrow, in times of joy, and in all the in-betweens, we are warmed in the light of God’s all embracing love.
