We offer the comfort, peace and joy of salvation in Christ Jesus, which He has won on the cross for all people, through the proclamation of repentance and forgiveness of sins as God instructs His Church to do in Luke 24. Scripture's purpose, and our purpose in proclaiming it, is so that people will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the Living God, and that believing in Him, they may have eternal life in His name. For this purpose, we use the tools that God has given us, namely, the Word, baptism and Holy Communion. We are also a liturgical church, so that we may continue to be properly served by the gospel of Christ. We are a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
