What we believe
So that's what it means to be Lutheran.

First and foremost we are disciples of Jesus Christ.  As Lutherans we accept the teachings of Martin Luther (1483 – 1546). He realized that there were significant differences between what he read in the Bible and the practices of the church at that time. Today, we still hold to the basic principles of Luther’s teachings such as grace alone, faith alone, scripture alone. These comprise the very essence of Lutheranism:

  • We are saved by the grace of God alone and not by anything we do;
  •  Our salvation is through faith alone and a confident trust in God, who in Christ promises us forgiveness, life and             salvation and;
  • The Bible is the norm for faith and life and is the true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
