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

In his book, “Locking Arms” Stu Webber shares some helpful spiritual insights from his days in U.S. Army Ranger Training School. His insights beautifully parallel what we have been saying around Cleburne for quite some time:

“We’d been running every day, but this was something else. We had come to expect exercise and exhaustion. But this morning we were in full field uniform - ready for battle. As usual, we were told to stick together, to work as a unit, and to come in together. The order was, `If you don’t come in together don’t bother to come in!’

Somewhere along the way a big kid named Sanderson began to get out of step with the rest of the group. Then his head began to loll from side to side. He was about to lose it when the Ranger on his right reached over and took his rifle.

As the platoon moved on, it wasn’t long before the big kid’s head began to sway again. This time the Ranger on the left reached over, removed Sanderson’s helmet, tucked it under his own arm, and continued to run. All systems go.

Now Sanderson was hurting bad. He was beginning to buckle. That’s when the two Rangers behind him lifted the pack off his back, each taking a shoulder strap in his free hand. Sanderson gathered his remaining strength. He squared his shoulders and the platoon continued to run. All the way home. We left together. We returned together. And all of us were stronger for it. Together is better.”

In the Body of Christ, we are not only better together, we are called and redeemed to be together as one in Christ!

September displays this mantra very strongly! Bill Preston will preach September 6, “When the Going Gets Tough”, 1 Corinthians 12:7-10

September 13 is GRANDPARENTS’ DAY and I have chosen to preach on the one word that describes Ascension to me these days, “Joyful!”

September 20 is NATIONAL BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY! What a great day to have our ANNUAL VOTERS’ MEETING. Once again this year it is at 9:00AM in the Fellowship Hall. Babysitting and Sunday School will both be available!

September 27 Pastor Ben Gonzales will preach, “Prevailing in the Power of the Spirit!” You know it will be a blessing! We leave together, we return together, and we make it home – together!

We are better together!!

Watch our progress as we build a new sanctuary.
