Our mission is from Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

What We Believe

Lutherans share a common heritage with all Christians and share the following basic affirmations in common with all Christian communities:

Trinity - We describe God in three persons. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are commonly used to refer to the threefold nature of God. Sometimes we use other terms, such as Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.

God - We believe in one God, who created the world and all that is in it. We believe that God is sovereign; that is, God is the ruler of the universe. We believe that God is loving. We can experience God’s love and grace.

Jesus - We believe that Jesus was human. He lived as a man and died when he was crucified. We believe that Jesus is also God. We believe that Jesus rose from the dead and that the risen Christ lives today. We believe that Jesus is our Savior. In Christ we receive abundant life and forgiveness of sins. We believe that Jesus is our Lord and that we are called to pattern our lives after His.

The Holy Spirit - We believe that the Holy Spirit is God with us. We believe that the Holy Spirit comforts us when we are in need and convicts us when we stray from God. We believe that the Holy Spirit awakens us to God’s will and empowers us to live obediently.

Human Beings - We believe that God created human beings in God’s image. We believe that humans can choose to accept or reject a relationship with God.

The Church - We believe that the Church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ’s life and ministry in the world today. We believe that the church is called to worship God, make disciples of Jesus Christ and to support those who participate in its life as they grow in faith.

The Bible - We believe that the Bible is God’s Word. We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice and that Christians need to know and study the Old and New Testament.

From Pastor Eddie

Word of God – Speak to me! In Psalm 118:24 the Word says, “This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Some of you are even singing it in your head right now, “This is the day - this is the day that the Lord has made – that the Lord has made! Let us rejoice - let us rejoice and be glad in

In what?

“It.” Singular. Only one. This is it. We don’t get another one. We don’t get a redo or a repeat of “it.”

You see in the midst of our hectic and hurried lives I think it is easy to forget that today is a gift. As one little girl said, “That’s why we call it the present.”

It is such a blessing to watch our daughters raising our grandchildren in the ways of the Lord and to hear and see once again the wonder of children learning and growing. Because for most of us who have read this far in this letter… our children are grown and gone with children of their own. We know how fast the days fly.

So I encourage each of us this summer with Psalm 118 power to treasure each day in the Lord. Take a deep breath if you need to slow down and center your heart on Christ right now. With school starting back and all of the activities of August let’s not miss a moment or wish away a day!

Pray hard and hold on for the ride! But don’t forget to treasure today in the process! It is God’s gift.

Rejoicing in Today!

Pastor Eddie
