As Lutheran Christians we:
 |
Believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is
the heart of our ministry, and that Jesus brings unity to our
rich diversity. We trust in Jesus Christ alone for
God's free gifts of life, forgiveness, and salvation and
we believe that the Bible is our standard and norm for
our life together;
|
 |
Believe that every believer is a minister,
called to serve others and we actively share the Gospel
(the "Good News") of Jesus Christ by word and
deed throughout our community and the world, and we
actively work with other Christians so that the whole
Church of Jesus Christ grows in faith and love;
|
 |
Believe that worship celebrates the Triune
God and utilizes the music and the language of both our
Christian heritage and our contemporary expressions and
we joyfully share in the "means of grace,"
God's Word and Sacraments, by which the Holy Spirit
strengthens our Christian walk;
|
 |
Responsibly care for all the resources that
God has place at our disposal so that we honor Him
