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 followers of Jesus, it is such a blessing to know that we are not walking anywhere where Jesus has not already walked! I remember following Dad through the woods as a boy and trying to step exactly in his footsteps in order to be as quiet as possible on our predawn deer hunting expeditions. Thanks, Dad.

But how many time do we hesitate to follow in Jesus’ steps… or even choose our own path instead? I wonder sometimes if the crises that develop in our lives are there because we have resisted the Spirit’s gentler nudges to follow in the steps of Jesus?

I know it is true when the path to follow Jesus is difficult or costly. Will I follow in Jesus’ steps or make a new path that pleases me?

All I know is that when those crossroads moments come, God has promised to be providentially at work for our good. (Romans 8:28) Believing His Word, my response as a follower is to surrender my will to Jesus irrevocably and absolutely.

After all, following in the steps of someone who knows the way home is the best way to go! Whether it is to and from the deer stand… or whether it is heading home with Jesus! Just for the record, I always stayed in dad’s steps when we were in the

woods in the dark! God grant we be even more faithful in following our heavenly Father!

Word of God – Speak to Me!
