WHEN WE WORSHIP

Divine Worship Service: Every Sunday at 9:00 AM.

WHAT WE BELIEVE

We are a Lutheran Church Missouri Synod Congregation.

  • We affirm the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, as the inspired Word of God.

  • We hold the 1580 Book of Concord as a true exposition of Christian doctrine, drawn from the Scriptures. This includes the Three Ecumenical Creeds, Augsburg Confession, Apology of the Augsburg Confession, Smalcald Articles, Luther's Large and Small Catechism, and the Formula of Concord.

  • We believe in the Holy Trinity: one God in three Persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

  • Humanity was created in God's image but fell into sin, leading to our lost condition.

  • Jesus Christ, both fully God and fully Man, lived a sinless life as our Substitute, died for our sins, rose from the dead, and will return to judge the living and the dead.

  • Salvation comes through repentance and faith in Christ, granted by the Holy Spirit.

  • Eternal life is received by faith in Jesus Christ alone, expressed through pleasing works.

  • The Holy Spirit indwells believers, guiding them to live according to God's will.

  • The Sacraments are Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper, offered to those in accordance with Christian teachings.

  • Both the saved and the lost will be raised from the dead; believers to eternal life, unbelievers to everlasting punishment.

  • Jesus Christ is the Lord and Head of the Church, and each congregation governs its own affairs under Christ.

  • The Church's mission is to preach the Gospel to all, making disciples and edifying believers in the body of Christ.

  • We anticipate the triumphant return of Jesus Christ.

COMMUNION POLICY

Holy Communion is offered every other week.

At St. Paul’s, we believe that in the Lord’s Supper, Jesus’ body and blood are truly present in, with, and under the bread and wine for the forgiveness of sins, and that Holy Communion is a confession of unity of faith.  If you are instructed in and in agreement with the Biblical teachings taught by The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod, admit the need of the forgiveness of sins offered in the Sacrament, and intend to amend your sinful life, we invite and encourage you to join us as we “proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes”.

 

Other guests are asked to speak with the pastor or an elder before communing for the first time here.
