The Holy Bible
is the ultimate authority for our faith ... not the Pope, the Bishop or any other church leader. We are to read and study it regularly.
The Creeds
1. Apostle’s Creed
2. Nicene Creed
3. Athanasian Creed
We worship one God in three, Father, Son & Holy Spirit. Each is separate, but all are one. What we cannot understand through logic, we accept through faith.

In 1517, Martin Luther set out to reform the Catholic Church in Rome. He saw poor training for ministers, a lack of concern for the poor, cruel punishment for any opposing the Roman Catholic ‘government’, and rules that were not based upon the Bible.

From One of Our Members:
WHAT DOES BEING A LUTHERAN MEAN TO YOU?
‘I was asked what was a Lutheran. Sounds like a simple question doesn’t it. But being newly confirmed, I replied with a rehearsed answer. That was my first goof. Being Lutheran means, I now belonged to a major branch of Protestant Christianity, that follows the 16th-
Yes, Lutherans are Christians, whose faith is guided by the teachings of Martin Luther, one of the leaders of the Reformation of the church in the 1500’s, which at the time featured many different ways for Christians to earn the blessing of eternal life.
Luther taught that in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, we can see that God already loves us. We don’t have to do a thing to earn God’s love. That’s the Good News of God’s Grace! That’s the Gospel! When we realize or discover and begin to trust or have faith in that love, we are grateful to God and motivated to follow Jesus as he calls us to love each other, our neighbors, and make disciples of ‘all nations’ (John 13:34-
When I heard myself, I cringed inside. It sounded ‘text book’ to me. I wish that I had the gift to minister to others, but that is not one of my strong suits. Oh, how I would love to be able to speak of God’s Holy Spirit arriving into our lives at our Baptism and how the Holy Spirit never ceases trying to create faith in us and how taking part in the Sacraments in which Jesus specifically commanded us to do, is a visible way that our invisible God becomes visible and comes to us to bless us.
A lesson that Luther taught was that ‘faith is not something we’re born with’ and faith is ‘not something we can do on our own’. Otherwise, faith would be just another thing we could “do” to earn the blessing of eternal life. Instead, Luther taught that Faith is a gift of the Holy Spirit, who uses every word of the Gospel we hear (or see) to create faith in us.
We hear the Gospel most clearly in worship, especially in the sermon, but also in the words of confession and forgiveness at the beginning of our service and the liturgical music* and hymns we sing throughout the service. It is a Lutherans belief that we need to keep on hearing the Gospel, because as Lutherans believe we are always both saints and sinners, always loved by God but at the same time, always not perfect, always in need for forgiveness from God for our sins, our failures, our doubts. Yet, always loved by God.
That is what being Lutheran means to me.”
