Our mission is from Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

What We Believe

Lutherans share a common heritage with all Christians and share the following basic affirmations in common with all Christian communities:

Trinity - We describe God in three persons. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are commonly used to refer to the threefold nature of God. Sometimes we use other terms, such as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.

God - We believe in one God, who created the world and all that is in it. We believe that God is sovereign; that is, God is the ruler of the universe. We believe that God is loving. We can experience God’s love and grace.

Jesus - We believe that Jesus was human. He lived as a man and died when he was crucified. We believe that Jesus is also God. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead and that the risen Christ lives today. We believe that Jesus is our Savior. In Christ we receive abundant life and forgiveness of sins. We believe that Jesus is our Lord and that we are called to pattern our lives after His.

The Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit is God with us. We believe that the Holy Spirit comforts us when we are in need and convicts us when we stray from God. We believe that the Holy Spirit awakens us to God’s will and empowers us to live obediently.

Human Beings - We believe that God created human beings in God’s image. We believe that humans can choose to accept or reject a relationship with God.

The Church - We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today. We believe that the church is called to worship God, make disciples of Jesus Christ and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith.

The Bible - We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice and that Christians need to know and study the Old and New Testament.

From Pastor Eddie

Friends of Jesus!

As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation, we are reminded that every blessing comes from God. We talk about and pray often over Psalm 24 and that the earth is the Lord’s and everything in it!

For two and a half centuries, the United States has experienced times of great

triumph, as well as seasons of challenge and hardship. Through it all, the Lord has

remained faithful, even when we are not.

Trish and I were reading in the Old Testament Book of Judges and just shook

our head at how quickly God’s people do their own thing, and how faithful God is in

the process! And make no mistake – God is still calling His people to trust Him and to be a light in the world!! For us at Ascension Church of Cleburne to be a city on a hill!

This 250th anniversary gives us an opportunity not only to appreciate our nation’s history and the freedoms we enjoy, but also to renew our commitment to prayer.

Scripture reminds us, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12). May we continue to seek God’s wisdom for our leaders, peace for our communities, and hearts that reflect Christ’s love. Prayer is the mission!

Trish and I will be at the Great Lakes for this July 4th, but wherever we are, let us

celebrate with gratitude while remembering our greatest citizenship is in God’s

Kingdom. May we be known for our faith, compassion, and service to others, sharing

the hope of the Gospel with all we meet. And as we know and believe – non-perfect

people are welcome!

On this historic milestone, let us thank God for His abundant grace and ask for His

continued guidance over our nation and His Church! May He bless America and lead us

to be a people who honor Him in all that we do.

Happy 250th Anniversary, America, and may God continue to bless you.

Pastor Eddie
