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 - August 2025
“Seek in Faith”
Matthew 6:33 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Seeking is looking for something that we don’t have, but would very much like to have. Seeking is similar to faith, where faith “…assures us of things we expect and convinces us of the existence of things we cannot see”. (Hebrews 11:1)
Sometimes we’re seeking things that we need. For example, we need God. In addition, we seek to have many other really good things in this life. We don’t realize that if we fully trust God, we’ll get the best. The Lord wants the best things for His children. The secret to getting the best things in life is to seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness in preference to all the other things we think we want. If we seek the Lord, then His gifts shall be given to us.
God is our Father; a father has a deep love for his children. He wants to provide us with the things we need to survive this world. He also wants to share in our problems in order that He may help us solve our problems. God is even much more concerned with His children than any earthly father could ever be. We can bring all of our problems to God; we can be assured that He cares. And since He is powerful, He has a solution that may not always be apparent to us.
It’s important that we seek God first, and not as a last resort.
In Christ,
Pastor Mike
