We Believe :


The One True God is the Triune God, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, as Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod Christians who believe in salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, trusting in Scripture alone as truth.

God the Father created us and our world, that He daily preserves our lives until He takes us to heaven by faith in Him, that He daily protects us by keeping most evil from us and by making everything bad work out for good, and that He sent His one and only Son to save us from the guilt of our sin as we trust in Him.

God the Son, who is truly God and truly Man - in One Person, redeemed the world from sin as our substitute by living a perfect life and dying an innocent death on the cross, and rising from the dead to prove He is the only Savior mankind needs.

God the Holy Spirit uses the gospel in word and sacraments to create our faith in Christ as well as preserve us in this faith throughout our lives, giving us the hope of eternal life and the security of forgiven sins by faith in Jesus, as we hear and believe God's sacred truths.

The Holy Bible is divinely inspired and remains the sole authority for all matters of faith and doctrine, showing people their sin and their need for a Savior, showing people they truly have a Savior in the crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ, showing people the way to thank God for the free gift of life and salvation in Christ by following his commands, and inspiring people to persistently desire and faithfully worship God and serve Him with their lives, always realizing with gratefulness the countless physical and spiritual blessings in the unfailing love of God.

The Lord wants us to gather together with other Christians in a congregation and unite with them around the gospel in word and sacrament where we can thereby make use of God's tremendous gifts of Holy Baptism and Holy Communion, and learn to practice our faith as we regularly reflect on His love and His will as set forth in the preached and taught Word of God, praying to God for each other and with each other, encouraging one another in our faith and love in Jesus Christ our Lord in this life, awaiting life in heaven, and offerings praise to God in word and song for time and eternity.
