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

“Communication is a Key”

Malachi 3:16 “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD paid attention and listened. A book was written in his
presence to be a reminder to those who feared the LORD and respected his name.”

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

At the time that Malachi was written (around 400 BC), there was much
division, opposition, and ridicule around God’s Word. In amongst the chaos was a group of people that spoke often to one another. They had a
common Lord and Savior.

The prophet Malachi mentions that the Lord listened to these people when they spoke to one another. Malachi 3:16 gives us a blessed picture of the faithful in a time of what seemed like the faith had been abandoned.

Welcome to today. It seems like we, at HCLC, are part of the remnant of the Church (Romans 11:5). No one else seems to be talking about God’s Word and what it means in today’s context. Thank God that He listens to us and hears us despite society’s chatter.

I pray that we continue to meet and talk about God together. Thank God for the women’s Bible study that is discussing the book of Esther on Thursday. Thank God for the Wired Word Bible Study on Fridays. May we not see our meetings as tedious and just another “task” that we do. God pays attention to us because He loves us.

In Christ,
Pastor Mike
