Our Beliefs and Practices
  1. We believe that the Bible is God’s Word and is the only source and
    guide for faith, doctrine, and life.
  2. We accept the Lutheran Church’s Confession of Faith as being in
    conformity with God’s Word.
  3. We believe that a congregation is an assembly of believing
    Christians where the Word of God is preached in truth and purity
    and where the Sacraments are administered in accordance with
    the Lord’s institution.
  4. Recognizing the clear distinction made in the Scriptures between
    the children of God and the children of the world, we believe in a
    personal experience of salvation in Christ.
  5. We conduct our services using a simple order of worship where
    the sermon, based on the Word of God, occupies the most
    prominent place in the service.
  6. We encourage the use of lay persons in spreading the Gospel and
    furthering the work of the kingdom of God.
  7. We seek through Sunday school, confirmation instruction, Bible
    camps, Lutheran Brethren Youth Fellowship, and Lutheran
    Brethren Youth Ministries to teach our youth to be followers of
    Jesus Christ.
  8. We believe in a strongly evangelistic emphasis and, with other
    congregations, sponsor mission work in Canada, the United
    States, Cameroon, Chad, Japan, and Taiwan.
  9. We are aware of the value of Christian education and, with other
    congregations, sponsor Lutheran Brethren Seminary, Lutheran
    Center for Christian Learning, and Hillcrest Lutheran Academy,
    Fergus Falls, Minnesota.
  10. Finally, we are actively interested in giving persons of all ages an
    opportunity to enter into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV)
