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 - February 2025

“Do it for the children!”

Matthew 18:06 [Jesus said] “It would be best for the person who causes [a child] to lose faith to be drowned in the sea with a large stone hung around his neck.”

Recently, members of Holy Cross Lutheran Church gathered for our weekly Bible Study at Bella Le Brew. We were able to talk to Stephen who
runs a non-government organization which rescues children from traffickers. Stephen told our Bible Study attendees that at any given airport,
train station, etc. in the United States, as many as 20% of the children you see are being trafficked into slavery.

Last week I was at the Greyhound bus terminals in Houston and San Antonio, Texas. Both locations were full of children – they were running all over the place. I watched them for several hours and I must admit that it is very difficult to spot the trafficked children.

Jesus loves children and He wants us to protect them. (Matthew 19:14) He abhors people who harm children in any way. You may say to
yourself, “I’m only one person. How can I help?” Holy Cross Lutheran Church is exploring ways which we can look out for children in our community.

You can watch the movie matinee at Holy Cross on February 8th from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. We will be watching the critically acclaimed movie, “Sound of Freedom”. On February 14, 2025, we will offer a “Parent’s Night Out” to provide a safe space for children. Finally, if you have ideas or suggestions, talk to our council members or your Pastor. Together, we can make a difference!

May His peace, hope and love be yours.
Pastor Mike
