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 - August 2026
“Lean Not!”
Luke 16:17 “It is easier for the earth and the heavens to disappear than to drop a comma from Moses’ Teachings.”
A Detroit pastor “rebukes” the Dearborn (Michigan) City Council for
elevating Sharia law over American Law.
A South Carolina church allows a sex offender to volunteer at its children’s ministry.
A Texas senatorial candidate claims that Muslims worship same God as Christians.
Brothers and sisters in Christ,
Today, God’s Word is being trampled upon by our governments, courts, and even by many in the Church. Despite this, “The Word of our Lord shall stand forever.”
Many people think that the law is no longer valid for Christians because they are under His grace. Others think that by obeying the law they merit heaven. Why DID God give us His law? Is it to show us the way we are supposed to live in His world (3rd use)? Or is it to show us God’s holiness and our own sinfulness – to convince us of our sin and drive us to Jesus
(1 st use)?
Our Father requires us to keep the law perfectly. Who can meet this
requirement? No one. Only Christ. Jesus fulfilled the law to the last letter for you and me.
It is God’s will that we should believe in His Son and have everlasting life. Jesus is the only One who has fully fulfilled His will. (1 John 2:17)
Therefore we must trust Him and lean not on our own understanding of right and wrong, good and evil, and the way of eternal life.
In Christ,
Pastor Mike
