Our Saviour Lutheran Church is affiliated with the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, a collection of over 6 thousand congregations and 2.6 million members worldwide, united in Christ by belief, faith, and mission.

With the universal Christian Church, we teach and respond to the love of the Triune God: the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.

As Lutherans, we accept and teach the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Scripture alone, Faith alone.

Grace alone

God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.

Scripture alone

The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.

Faith alone

By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.

As confessional Lutherans, we hold to the statements of belief that were put into writing and collected together in The Book of Concord by church leaders during the 16th century.  These writings include, Luther's Small Catechism, Luther's Large Catechism, The Augsburg Confession, The Smalcald Articles, and Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope.
