Our Savior Lutheran Church

THE BIBLE
We believe that the Bible is the true and living Word of God, without error and without contradiction. Therefore, it is the only source, guide and authority in determining what we believe and how to live our lives

GOD
We believe that GOD is "Triune", that is, One God in three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

HUMANITY
We believe that God created and sustains all life. We believe that humankind was made in the image of God, meaning that we were created holy by God. However, we lost this holiness and our loving relationship with God, through disobedience.

SIN
We believe that every thought, word and deed contrary to God's Will is sin; that every human being inherits sin at conception; and that the wages of sin -- the punishment that sin earns -- is death, eternal separation from God in Hell.

OUR SAVIOR
We believe that people cannot save themselves from the punishment of sin by their "good works" or restore themselves to a right relationship with God. However, in great love for us, God sent his own son, Jesus, to free the world from sin and its consequences.

We believe that Jesus, true God and true Man, lived a holy and perfect life on earth, suffered and died on the cross in our place to pay the debt we owe for sin, and rose again from the grave to prove his victory over sin and death.

We believe that because of Jesus' perfect life, death and resurrection, God declares a person "not guilty" and righteous in his sight. All who believe in Jesus as their Savior receive this free gift of forgiveness and the promise of eternal life in heaven. Because of this, they face life with new joy, greater confidence and greater purpose. They become new creatures in Christ.

We believe Jesus will come again to take all believers to Himself. On the final day, all the dead will be raised. Those who are still alive will be bodily transformed. After this, the final judgment will take place. Unbelievers will go into eternal damnation and believers into eternal life.

HOLY SPIRIT
We believe that the Holy Spirit of God works through God's Word and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper to bring people to faith in Jesus Christ, sustain their faith, and equip them to live lives of praise and service to God.

THE CHURCH
We believe the true Christian church is made up of all people of all times who believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and only savior from sin and death. We believe that God wants all Christians to join continually with other believers for the purposes of worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth, so that they may be empowered to tell others, in word and action, the Good news of God's love for humanity in Jesus.
