We are a church of the The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA)

Lutherans hold to the basic principles of Martin Luther’s theological teachings, such as Grace alone, faith alone, Scripture alone. These comprise the very essence of Lutheranism:

• We are saved by the grace of God alone — not by anything we do;
• Our salvation is through faith alone — a confident trust in God, who in Christ promises us forgiveness, life and salvation; and
• The Bible is the norm for faith and life — the true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.

The ELCA is a community of faith that shares a passion for making positive changes in the world. Our faith is built around a strong belief in God as made known to us in Jesus Christ. Through worship, service, and education, we practice our faith, grow our relationship with God, and experience God's grace in our lives.

Lutherans believe in the Triune God. God created and loves all of creation—the earth and the seas and all of the world’s inhabitants. We believe that God's Son, Jesus Christ, transforms lives through his death on the cross and his new life, and we trust that God's Spirit is active in the world. Lutherans are a diverse group of people, convinced that the Holy Spirit is leading us toward unity in the household of God.

We are part of God’s unfolding plan. When we gather for worship, we connect with believers everywhere. When we study the Bible or hear God’s word in worship, we are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story.
