Vision Statement

Our vision is that each person in our community is actively discipling and bringing people to Jesus Christ.

What is a Confessional Church?

The marks of a true visible church congregation are that the Gospel is preached and taught in all its purity and that the Sacraments are administered as prescribed by Christ. The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod submits to Scripture as the sole source and norm of all its teachings, and therefore recognizes no other authority for the determination of the truth of its theology than the very Word of God. The answer to the all important question of “What does God say in His Holy Scriptures?” is determined by gathering all the Scripture passages that speak to a particular doctrine or subject matter, and then, letting Scripture interpret Scripture, submitting to the clear and plain language inspired by God. Confessions and creeds are then not a supplement to God’s Word, or even an explanation of His Word, but an example of what God says, guiding and assisting the church to provide a clear witness to the truth, but also a clear refuting of falsehoods. A confessional church is therefore one that sets forth its doctrines in writing, and tests all teaching and practices by that measure for all the world to see and hear.
