Our Beliefs

As Lutheran Christians, we live by:

GRACE ALONE – In Jesus Christ, God’s gifts of forgiveness, new life, and salvation are offered freely, to all.

FAITH ALONE – Faith receives God’s gifts gratefully and responds in a life of joyful service.

SCRIPTURE ALONE – God’s Word is the foundation of our lives and a reliable source of comfort and hope.
