St Paul's Affiliation

On November 3, 2002 St Paul's voted to join Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). Very briefly LCMC holds the following core beliefs:

• Belief in the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
  
  
• Belief in Jesus called the Christ as Lord and Savior.
  
  
• Belief in the Gospel as the vehicle that leads us to salvation through Jesus Christ.
  
  
• Belief in the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the sole authority for structuring life.
  
  
• Acceptance of the Apostles', Nicene and Athanasian Creeds as accurate summaries of our faith.
  
  
• Acceptance of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and the Small Catechism as accurate teaching tools of our faith.
  
  
• The confessional writings in the Book of Concord as accurate representations of our faith.
  
  
• Belief in the priesthood of all believers.

We are a people who take our faith seriously but who know that we cannot and do not earn favor from God. That favor is given as a gift - the term we use for that reality is grace. We seek to live out our faith as a way to grow in love, not to earn love. We invite you to come and see what this means.
