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 - December 2025

“Let there be Peace on Earth”

John 14:27 “I’m leaving you peace. I’m giving you peace. I don’t give you the kind of peace that the world gives. So don’t be troubled or cowardly.”

Inspired by an article at The Christian Post titled: “38 Christians freed after being abducted from worship service in Nigeria” as found at: https://www.christianpost.com/news/nigeria-38-christians-freed-after-abduction-from-worship-service.html

Brothers and sisters in Christ,

As I gear up for Christmas, there are some things that still trouble me. On
November 18, 2025, ten men stormed a church in Nigeria killing several people, including the pastor. More recently, gunmen raided St. Mary’s Catholic schools in Papiri, Nigeria and kidnapped 303 students and 12 teachers. Only about fifty of the students managed to escape.

It’s in this chaos that we’re supposed to celebrate the coming of our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ. It’s hard NOT being troubled about these events. Christians are being physically, sexually, and emotionally harmed while we celebrate Jesus’ birthday. It doesn’t seem right.

It’s in these moments that we refer to what God says about this. Philippians 4:6-7 speaks volumes about our concerns. “Never worry about anything. But in every situation let God know what you need in prayers and requests while giving thanks. Then God’s peace, which goes beyond anything we can imagine, will guard your thoughts and emotions through Christ Jesus.”

Merry Christmas,
Pastor Mike
