Our Mission Statement

Our church is a group of believers in Jesus Christ gathered by the Holy Spirit around the Word of God and the Sacraments. We exist to fill the world with the true guiding light of God's Word. This will be accomplished by faithfully preserving and proclaiming God's infallible and inerrant Word and administering the Sacraments as they were instituted by Christ. We are with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), a branch of the Lutheran Church noted for its faithful confession of Scripture.

What the Bible and Lutherans Teach

The Bible and Lutherans teach that the Bible is the true word of God. It is inspired by the Holy Spirit. This means that God breathed into the writers the exact thoughts and words they were to write. As a result every statement in the Bible is the truth. One part of the Bible explains another part. It is the only guideline for the faith and life of Christians. We are to read and study it diligently. It clearly teaches all we need to know in order to obtain our eternal salvation.

2 Peter 1:21 Men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit.

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed.

John 10:35 The Scripture cannot be broken.

2 Timothy 3:15 From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation.

Luke 11:28 Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey it.

John 5:39 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think by them
you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me [Jesus].

Nearly 500 years ago, the Christian church was corrupted by many false teachings. A man named Martin Luther led people back to the teachings of the Bible. His work, and that of his friends, is called the Reformation. Through Luther God restored the church to purity of doctrine and a new life of faith in Christ.

The doctrines of the Lutheran Church are not new. They are the teachings of the Bible. Thus the Lutheran Church is not a new church.

It is not a sect or cult like the Mormons.

It is a church whose teaching is based on the words written by the prophets of the Old Testament and the apostles of the New Testament. The Bible tells us about Jesus Christ.

The teachings of the Lutheran Church are those of the original, ancient church of the apostles and early Christians.
