The Bible is the Word of God. It's an inspired collection of stories, poems, prayers, histories, letters, and other writings that help us get to know God. While we aren't afraid to wrestle with the Bible, we've found that as we dig deeper into its pages, our hopes, prayers, and lives become richer and more meaningful—especially because we find Jesus there.
We don’t use it as a rule book, but rather as a means of deepening our relationship with God and see what God wills for us in our lives and in the world.
THE SACRAMENTS
Baptism and Holy Communion are God's way of infusing us with grace. In baptism, we are claimed by God forever as a beloved child. In communion, Jesus' presence and forgiveness are given to us in ordinary bread and wine. Shaped by these profound gifts, what Luther called "the means of grace," we are energized and ready to serve.
