Core beliefs
What We Believe
We share the common confession of faith expressed by Christians throughout the centuries in the Nicene Creed:I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth
and of all things visible and invisible.And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the only-begotten Son of God,
begotten of His Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light,
very God of very God,
begotten, not made,
being of one substance with the Father,
by whom all things were made;
who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven
and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary
and was made man;
and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.
He suffered and was buried.
And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures
and ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of the Father.
And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,
whose kingdom will have no end.And I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord and giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,
who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,
and I look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.We also confess the 1580 Book of Concord.We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod

Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Q: What should I expect during a service?A: Our services are reverent, because we believe that the One, Almighty, Holy God is present. But reverence doesn’t mean boring! Our services are filled with relevant messages focused on learning more about the Bible and what it means for our lives. Everything we do in worship is directed toward receiving, teaching and showing what God does for us! We sing the ancient hymns of the church along with recent compositions. It’s a little bit of a learning curve, but our service richly delivers the treasures of the church – both ancient and modern. Our congregation is blessed with many talented musicians, and we frequently worship with organ, piano, and other special music.Q: Where do I sit?A: You are welcome to sit anywhere you wish. Seating is not reserved.Q: Does it cost anything?A: Our worship services are provided free-of-cost.
If you wish to contribute, we take a freewill offering at our church.
However, do not feel compelled to leave a contribution.Q: How do I dress?A: We have many who dress up specially for service, and many who don’t.Q: Are children welcome?A: We believe the most important place for children is in divine service as part of the body of Christ! There is a cry room for any families who need it. Children are also welcome to Sunday School at 9am and for our midweek school on Wednesdays after school.Q: Where do I park?A: We have ample onsite parking.

The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a denomination that confesses the historic, orthodox Christian faith, a faith built on “the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone” (Eph. 2:20).
