We believe
God is our creating Father, Jesus Christ is our gracious Savior and
that the Holy Spirit is present in the real world.
JUSTIFICATION
BY FAITH
We confess
that "all fall short" of God's expectations. Out of HIS
love and mercy, God sent HIS son Jesus Christ to save us from the
world of sin, death and power of the devil. In Jesus Christ, God is
the one who makes satisfaction for human sin. It is not what we do
but what God has done for us that brings salvation.
SPIRIT FILLED
The Holy
Spirit calls us through the gospel, enlightens, sanctifies and keeps
us and the whole church united with Jesus Christ.
WORSHIP
AND WORD
God's grace
comes to us through the Word and the Sacraments. We accept the Old
Testament and the New Testament as inspired by God's Spirit bringing
the world the Good News of Jesus Christ. God's presence in the
Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion bring us into the family of
grace and nourish us in lives of faith and service.
IN THE WORD
Lutherans are
the largest Protestant church body in the world which began in the
15th century believing that Christ's Church is universal. The
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America is the result of a 1988 merger
of three prominent Lutheran bodies.
