Statement of Belief
We Believe As Christians belonging to the Lutheran Church--Missouri
Synod that the Word of God as found in the Old and New Testaments
and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, as commanded
and instituted by Christ, are the means by which God comes to
us.
The Lutheran confession is often summarized in three phrases:
Word Alone, Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Word Alone:
We believe in and place our trust in the inerrant Word,
as written in Holy Scriptures and as personified in Jesus Christ,
who died for our sins and rose again for our justification. (John
1:1-5)
Grace Alone: We believe that we cannot do anything by ourselves
to earn our place in heaven, but that God, our Father, offers
the unmerited gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.(Titus 3:4-7)
Faith Alone: We believe that we cannot achieve faith by ourselves,
but that the Holy Spirit calls us by the Gospel and works faith
in our hearts "even as He calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies
the whole Christian church on earth and keeps it with Jesus Christ
in the one true faith."
(Luther's Small Catechism. Explanation to the Third Article)
Luther's seal.
The black cross is a reminder of the cross of Calvary upon
which Christ died to atone for the sins of the world.
The red heart signifies faith in Christ who died and rose again.
The heart is fixed on the center of a white rose to show that
faith causes joy, comfort, and peace beyond that is this world.
The rose is on a sky-blue field to signify the beginning of a
heavenly joy.
A gold ring encircles all this to signify that such bliss in heaven
is endless.
