Lutheran’s confess the faith of the apostolic Christian Church as it is taught in the three Ecumenical Creeds.

​

Apostles’, Nicene, and Athansian.  Namely, that there is only one true God, and yet in this one God there are three persons:  The Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit.

​

Lutherans confess that all are conceived and born sinful, standing under God’s wrath, and are unable to save themselves.

Lutherans confess that God the Son was born of the Virgin Mary.  This Jesus Christ, who is true God and true man, died on the cross and rose to life again in order to save the world from God’s wrath.  He ascended into heaven and now we wait for Him to return on the Last Day to judge both the living and the dead.

​

Lutherans confess that we are saved by God’s grace, for Christ’s sake, through faith alone.

​

Lutherans confess that this saving faith comes to us as God’s free gift through the work of the Holy Spirit as Christ’s Church proclaims the Gospel and administer the Sacraments (Baptism and the Lord’s Supper).

Lutherans confess that the only authority for Christian teaching and life which is never in error, and never leads us astray is God’s Holy Word, which he has given us in the Old and New Testaments.  For Lutherans the Holy Bible is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.
