What we believe

CORE BELIEFS

As a community comprised of people from many walks of life, we are intentionally inclusive

in embracing all people in everything we do and strive to create a safe place where everyone is welcome to explore their faith journey.

We are Lutheran Christians:
“Marked with the cross of Christ forever, we are claimed, gathered and sent for the sake of the world.
This is the mission statement of the ELCA. As members of the ELCA,
we believe that we are freed in Christ to serve and love our neighbor”.

Lutherans believe in the Triune God. God created and loves all of creation —
the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God’s Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life,
and we trust that God’s Spirit is active in the world.

We are part of God’s unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God’s word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story.

God has revealed himself to us through his son, Jesus Christ, who is the visible image of the invisible God, the holy scriptures, and through all of creation itself.
