What We Believe

In essence, we believe: God's Word, the Holy Bible, is Truth and is God's communication to us.

Therefore we believe what the Bible says and teaches to us.

Chief among what God has to say to us is: Jesus Christ, died for the sins of the whole world and rose to life again. The gift of having our sins washed away is given to us as a free gift. We do nothing to earn it for none of our deeds or works could be good enough to merit the removal of our sins. This gift is there for all people and we simply believe.

Our beliefs, drawn from the Bible, are expressed in the following additional documents:

The three ecummenical creeds:

• The Apostle's Creed
• The Nicene Creed
• Athanasian Creed

The Lutheran Confessions (The Book of Concord), including:

• Martin Luther's Small Catechism
• Augsburg Confession
• The Book of Concord

Thanks to Project Wittenburg for providing the texts from the Book of Concord.
