Our Mission Statement

 

In grateful response to God’s Grace
and empowered by the Holy Spirit through Word
and Sacrament, the mission of St. Paul
Lutheran Church is to fulfill the Great Commission
by sharing the love of Christ
through word and deed within our church
and community.


 

What We Believe and Teach:

God is
Triune: Father, Son, & Holy Spirit

Jesus is
The Son of God, Born of a Virgin

The Bible is
The Inspired, Inerrant, Revealed Truth of God

We are Sinful
Rm 3:23...." for all have sinned and fall short"....

Jesus Died for all
2 Cor 5:15...." and he died for all"....

The Gospel
We are called to share it

The Church
Is the body of Christ

Holy Baptism
Tit 3:5...." the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit,"....

Holy Communion
Jesus Christ is really present in, with and under the bread and wine to give forgiveness of sins.

This is only a snapshot: Holy Scripture is the inspired word of God and the doctrine of the Evangelical Lutheran Church is drawn from them.

null Worship, and the
distribution of God's
gifts are the primary
reasons for our
existence. We also
enjoy many other
activities together.
