What We Believe

Lutherans are a diverse group of people, convinced that the Holy Spirit leads toward unity.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). As a congregation of the ELCA, we believe:

In the Triune God: God the Parent, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All are part of God’s unfolding plan.
That Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior and the Gospel is the power of God for the salvation of all who believe. Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
That in gathering for worship, we connect with believers everywhere and of every time.
That the historic creeds (Apostles’, Nicene, Athanasian) are true declarations of the faith.
That, in Holy Communion, the body and blood of Christ are truly and essentially present and are truly distributed and received with the bread and wine.
That, studying the Bible and praying, all are drawn more deeply into God’s own saving story.
That worship flows into witness and service that proclaims God’s love to this broken world.
That all people are children of God, loved by God, and all are one in Jesus Christ.
That serving others and addressing social issues that affect the common good is living out the Christian faith.
That the baptized are called to ministry in daily life, translating Sunday’s faith into Monday’s world.
