Our Beliefs

We are a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • We believe that all people are welcome in the eyes of God

    regardless of race, gender, orientation, or social status. We are a safe and supportive environment where everyone can feel embraced by the love of Christ. Emphasizing the importance of grace, faith, and scripture, we believe that all people are welcome in the eyes of God.


    ​

  • We believe in the Triune God

    Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • We believe in Jesus Christ

    as Lord and Savior and believe the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe in him.

  • Scriptures, Creeds and Confessions

    The ELCA's official Confession of Faith identifies the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments (commonly called the Bible); the Apostles', Nicene and Athanasian Creeds; and the Lutheran confessional writings in the Book of Concord as the basis for our teaching. ELCA congregations make the same affirmation in their governing documents, and ELCA pastors promise to preach and teach in accordance with these teaching sources.


    This Confession of Faith is more than just words in an official document. Every Sunday in worship ELCA congregations hear God's word from the Scriptures, pray as Jesus taught and come to the Lord's Table expecting to receive the mercies that the Triune God promises.


    Throughout the week ELCA members continue to live by faith, serving others freely and generously in all that they do because they trust God's promise in the Gospel. In small groups and at sick beds, in private devotions and in daily work, this faith saturates all of life. Teaching for a life of faith This connection to all of life is the clearest demonstration of the authority that the canonical Scriptures, the ecumenical Creeds and the Lutheran Confessions have in the ELCA. The Holy Spirit uses these witnesses to create, strengthen and sustain faith in Jesus Christ and the life we have in him. That life-giving work continues every day, as Martin Luther explained in the Small Catechism: the Holy Spirit "calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth and preserves it in union with Jesus Christ in the one true faith."
