Our
Beliefs
With the universal Christian Church, the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became man to suffer and die for the sins of all mankind and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan, and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and the Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God. |
Being "Lutheran", our congregation
accepts and teaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther
that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th
Century. The teachings of Luther and the reformers can be summarized
in three short phrases: Grace alone, Scripture alone, Faith alone. |
| Grace Alone God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly. |
| Scripture Alone The Bible is God’s inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine. |
| Faith
Alone By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him. |
| Our Mission To grow in faith and understanding of God’s Word by teaching salvation by grace alone through faith in Jesus Christ. |
| Our Vision A church that faithfully preaches God’s Word and gathers together in worship around His means of grace. A church that provides strength and assurance to her members that faith in Jesus Christ brings forgiveness of sins, life and salvation. A church that reaches out to the surrounding community, embodying the love and forgiveness won for all in Jesus Christ. To construct a new church building in the Westfield, Indiana area as a worldly reminder of God’s ever-present love and grace. |
