Our Beliefs
If it's been a challenging week, what do you need? A friendly and caring atmosphere? Encouragement and power so you can leave behind last week's failures and move confidently into a new week? To be connected to something bigger and better than what you find in your daily life? We think our group meets those needs. More importantly, we know that what we believe will fill those needs.
It’s why we don’t sugarcoat it. We know that your life has challenges. We even know you have done things that you regret. We realize there are no easy fixes to your problems. We are in the same boat. We all live with guilt. Too often our sin owns us. No matter how much good we do, it never seems to balance out the bad. It all explains why our message is saturated with the good news of God's love for us in Christ. In an often a dark and difficult world, Jesus offers the only permanent solution to the biggest problems. Jesus' death on the cross provides us with certainty of forgiveness and the hope of eternal life.
Because we treasure what God has done for us, we take all of the His Word seriously. Some might call our beliefs "old-fashioned," but we take special comfort in the fact that we believe the same thing Christians have believed for hundreds and thousands of years. Our beliefs are solid enough that they don't need to change with the tide of public opinion! For these reasons we are proud to bear the name "Lutheran" and belong to the "Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod" (WELS). Our brand of Lutheranism places its focus squarely on Christ and on what God's Word says.
