Get to Know Us
What we believe defines our identity and purpose.
St. John's Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod. We believe in the love of Christ and that he was crucified for the forgiveness of sins and our salvation.
- The three persons of the Trinity (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit) are coequal and coeternal, one God.
- The Bible is the inspired Word of God and without error.
- The Scriptures teach that all people are born with a sinful nature and need a Savior in order to have a right relationship with God.
- God sent his son, Jesus Christ, to be the savior of the world.
- Forgiveness of sins and eternal life in heaven are received by faith in Christ alone.
- The Holy Spirit within the church calls, gathers, and grants us faith in Jesus comes by the proclamation of the Word, in the forgiveness of sins given in Absolution, in the washing of Holy Baptism, and in the body and blood of Jesus given in the Lord's Supper.
- We are called to tell others of the forgiveness and life that comes only by faith in Jesus Christ.
- To show our faith by our love for one another.
