We believe, teach, and confess the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe, teach, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe in him.

*Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.

*The proclamation of God's message to us as both law and gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy in the person and work of Jesus Christ through whom God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself.

*The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God. Inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God's Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.

We believe, teach, and accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the sole authoritative source and norm of our proclamation, faith, and life.

We accept the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the scriptural faith we believe, teach, and confess.

We believe, teach, and accept the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and the Small Catechism as true witnesses to the Word of God, normative for our teaching and practice. We acknowledge that we are one in faith and doctrine with all churches that likewise accept the teachings of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.

We believe, teach, and confess the other confessional writings in the Book of Concord namely, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise, the Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord, as further valid expositions of the Holy Scriptures.

We believe, teach, and confess the gospel, recorded in the Holy Scriptures and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran confessional writings, as the power of God to create and sustain the priesthood of all believers for God's mission in the world.

PASTOR’S LUCID RAMBLINGS - June 2026

“Land that I Love!”

Jeremiah 3:19 “I wanted to treat you like children and give you a pleasant land, the most beautiful property among the nations. I thought that you would call me Father and wouldn’t turn away from me.”

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

One of the things that’s important to people who live on a peninsula, such as we do in Rockport, is having good land. You may have heard the story about how Holy Cross Lutheran Church came to be and the acreage that the church sits on. God’s given us this church and the beautiful land that it sits on. But God hasn’t only given us property; He’s also given us freedom of speech, freedom to worship and an opportunity to serve in His kingdom.

The truth is, where much is given, much is required. We have been blessed with good and faith givers in the past. We have given time, talents and resources to Castaways, Good Samaritans, as well as ministries in Houston and Sierra Leone. There is still more that needs to be done.

Jeremiah records the Word of the Lord to faithless Judah. God had expected better things of that nation. He had given the people a favored country in which to live, but the father-child relationship had fallen apart.

This seems similar to our situation in the United States today. Our nation has a Christian heritage. And while the country has seen periods of spiritual decline, God has never given up on us.

God’s message to Judah was that if His people came back to Him, He would heal and restore. His message is the same to us today.

May God bless you and the United States of America on its 250th birthday.

In Christ,

Pastor Mike
