We believe, teach and confess that all Scripture is given by the inspiration of God the Holy Spirit and that God is therefore the true Author of every word of Scripture. (2 Peter 1:21).

We believe, teach and confess that God, by the almighty power of His Word, created all things. We also believe that man, as the principal creature of God, was specially created in the image of God, that is, in a state of righteousness, innocence and blessedness.

We affirm that Adam and Eve were real historical human beings, the first two people in the world, and that their fall was a historical occurrence which brought sin into the world. We confess that man’s fall necessitated the gracious redemptive work of Jesus Christ and that fallen man’s only hope for salvation from his sin lies in Jesus Christ, his Redeemer and Lord.

Baptism and the Lord's Supper are very special means by which God imparts to each of us this forgiveness we so desperately need but so completely cannot obtain by ourselves. The grace of God is truly exemplified in our practice of infant baptism where through that action we confess we can not decide for Christ, nor bring ourselves to faith, but instead Christ decides for us and gifts us with saving faith. In the Lord’s Supper, Christ offers us His true body and blood in, with, and under the bread and wine. Thus, the bread and wine are not symbols, nor are they changed into the body and blood of Christ but are hosts which host the true body and blood of Christ in a supernatural way beyond human comprehension. We call this Real Presence. In this Sacrament, He continually forgives our sins and strengthens our faith. Due to the gifts He offers in that Sacrament, we celebrate it weekly.

Our congregations accept and preach the 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 phases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
