As congregations of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, we see ourselves as part of the universal Christian Church, relying on the Sacred Scriptures as the sole and final norm for faith and life. We wholeheartedly subscribe to the Church’s ecumenical creeds (Apostles, Nicene and Athanasian) as correct statements of Biblical faith. We hold fast to the Lutheran Confessions (as found in the Book of Concord of 1580) as correct expositions of that Biblical faith.
