​Our Mission Statement

Our mission is to win souls for Christ by the preaching of the Word and personal witnessing, and to strengthen the believers through worship and Christian fellowship.

Who We are

We are a Biblical church

We are a Lutheran Church
Therefore, we believe the Bible, including both the Old and New Testaments, as originally given, is the verbally and completely inspired Word of God and is free from error in the whole and in the part, and is therefore the final authoritative guide for faith and conduct.  

​The Bible, not culture, informs us what God's will and purpose is for each of us.
Therefore, we believe, in accordance with God's Word, that the Sacraments (Baptism and Communion) are effectual means of grace whereby God delivers to us His unmerited grace on the basis of His promises to us, as found in His Word. We celebrate Communion the 1st Sunday of each month. 

​Unlike many Lutheran churches, we practice a simple form of non-liturgical worship where the preaching of God's Word is central to our worship experience; preceded and followed by a blend of hymns and contemporary songs.
We are a Christian Church
​Therefore, we believe there is one God eternally existent in three distinct persons in one divine essence; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. From time to time we confess this biblical truth in the words of the Apostle's Creed.

​​We also believe that we have inherited a sinful condition from our parents that has separated us from God our Father, who created us.

The only remedy for this separa-tion is humble repentance of our sin and trusting fully in His Son, Jesus Christ, and his death and resurrection, for full payment of our sin, to be completely restored in our relationship with God. There is NO other way to be brought into this saving relationship with God.
   
The Holy Spirit plays an essential role in our salvation by showing us our sin through God's Holy Law, and delivering to us God's infinite Grace, all through His Word, the Bible.​Therefore, we believe there is one God eternally existent in three distinct persons in one divine essence; Father, Son and Holy Spirit. From time to time we confess this biblical truth in the words of the Apostle's Creed.

We are a
​Lutheran Brethren Church

​We are  a member congregation of the Church of Lutheran Brethren, head-quartered in Fergus Falls, MN.  

In partnership with the other congregations of the CLB, we support our Lutheran Brethren Seminary, church plants in the US and Canada, and mission work in Africa, Japan and Taiwan.

We seek to be...

...a safe, family oriented church where everyone, of any age and race, feels welcome and loved with the love of Christ!
