About Us
Faithfully rooted, warmly welcoming
What We Believe
God
We believe in and confess the Triune God:
Father,
Son,
Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ
We believe in and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all creation.
We believe Jesus Christ is the Word of God made flesh, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God makes all things new.
Scripture
We believe the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, also known as the Bible, are the written Word of God.
Inspired by God's Spirit, speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation rooted in Jesus Christ.
The Creeds
We accept the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the faith of this congregation.
What to Expect
A loving, caring Evangelical Lutheran Church.
Visitors can expect a respectful and welcoming atmosphere where worship is grounded, thoughtful, and centered on God's Word. Our congregation values friendly conversation, meaningful fellowship, and making space for every guest to feel at ease.
Whether you are attending on your own, with family, or simply looking for a church home, you will be greeted with kindness and invited to stay for coffee and fellowship following worship.
