We believe, teach, and confess the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe, teach, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe in him.
*Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.
*The proclamation of God's message to us as both law and gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy in the person and work of Jesus Christ through whom God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself.
*The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God. Inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God's Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.
We believe, teach, and accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the sole authoritative source and norm of our proclamation, faith, and life.
We accept the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the scriptural faith we believe, teach, and confess.
We believe, teach, and accept the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and the Small Catechism as true witnesses to the Word of God, normative for our teaching and practice. We acknowledge that we are one in faith and doctrine with all churches that likewise accept the teachings of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.
We believe, teach, and confess the other confessional writings in the Book of Concord namely, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise, the Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord, as further valid expositions of the Holy Scriptures.
We believe, teach, and confess the gospel, recorded in the Holy Scriptures and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran confessional writings, as the power of God to create and sustain the priesthood of all believers for God's mission in the world.

PASTOR’S LUCID RAMBLINGS - May 2026
“More Division”
Romans 9:33 As Scripture says, “I am placing a rock in Zion that people trip over, a large rock that people find offensive. Whoever believes in him will not be ashamed.”
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
This year will be the four year anniversary of the historic split in the United Methodist Church, where more than 7,000 congregations have left the UMC and either joined with the new “Global Methodist Church” or remain unaffiliated. The divide seems to emphasize the larger divide that we’re seeing in American society today.
Division was a problem in the early Christian Church as well. St. Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 1:23 “… our message is that Christ was crucified. This offends Jewish people and makes no sense to people who are not Jewish.” Why does the Gospel message offend? It’s because people don’t want to believe in Jesus as their only way of salvation. People have been looking for a messiah for centuries and when Jesus came into the world; they couldn’t accept Him.
Unfortunately, today’s Church is even more divided. It’s divided against the world, against other denominations, and yes, divided within our denomination. While Satan thinks that this is to his advantage, scripture says otherwise.
In our sinfulness, we claim that we (alone) know God’s will, and the Truth is we don’t. The result is God’s Word – Jesus Christ - continues to be a stumbling block. And while others may try to get rid of the Rock in an attempt to bring us together – may the Rock of Ages remain as our King of Kings and Lord of Lords; so we won’t be ashamed of Him.
In Christ,
Pastor Mike
