Who We Are

Our Parish is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. As such we hold to the belief that the Holy Scriptures are the inspired and inerrant Word of God – the Rule and Norm for the Christian faith, and the only True Foundation for a proper relationship with the Living God through life and merit of His Son, Jesus Christ – the only Savior of the fallen sinners, and the only Hope for mankind. We also hold the Book of Concord of 1580 to be a true exposition of God's Word, and the standard against which all the teachings of our Church are to be measured. If you have any questions about specific areas, please don't hesitate to drop Pastor Newman a line

We hold that the Divine Service is central to who we are as Lutheran Christians, and we strive, by the mercies of almighty God to give thanks to Him in all purity and truth by exclusive use of the Liturgical  forms which have been passed down to us from the time of the Early Church right up to the present day.

God's richest blessings to you in Christ!

Easter Greetings

The part of the Church Year we observe now is perhaps the most well-known of all the seasons - Easter. It's during this time that we Christians, having just completed the celebration of our Savior's Incarnation, suffering and death, that we now rejoice in His victory over death and the grave when He rose from the dead on the Third Day. Hence this time of year we dress our Sanctuary in white, the color of new life and the resurrection, and once again sing our Alleluias. We rejoice in God's great love which is so great that He was even willing to sacrifice His own Son on the cross to save us. Now we look forward with great joy to the time of His Second Coming on the Last Day - that Day when He will come to bring an end to all things, taking all those who belong to Him home to heaven where they will live in blessedness forever and ever as the redeemed, resurrected children of God. With a proper understanding of who this is whose birth, suffering, death and resurrection we now celebrate, we can rightly rejoice fully as with great thanksgiving we embrace the gift of eternal life and the salvation which our Savior earned for us and all sinners. Jesus is the eternal Son of the Father, who who came into our world and assumed our flesh for the purpose of taking upon Himself all our sin and guilt and dying on Calvary's cross - only to rise again in victory on the third day, having earned salvation for us all.

Now whomever trusts in this Savior has God's sure and certain promise that they will be saved on the Day of His returning at the end of all things. Our prayer is that during this time of Church Year the message of God's Son - born of the Virgin Mary, living, suffering, dying on the cross - and then rising from the dead for sinners such as ourselves - might be revealed anew to you once more - and that as God the Holy Sprit, working through God's Word, brings you to faith in Christ to save you, He might then also grant you everything needful to sustain you, body and soul, unto life everlasting!

To Him ALONE be the glory!

Prayers For Our Nation

Our country and our nation is living in a time of peril heretofore unknown by most of those under the age of 30. Assaulted by terrorist attacks from those who hate us for a variety of reasons we must turn to God as our Refuge and Strength, an ever present Help in time of trouble.

Now that our nation has found herself engaged in battle on many fronts against those whose sole aim seems to be the taking away of our freedom, we pray to Almighty God that He would not suffer this to happen – and that He would raise up men and women to courageously stand up for the cause of freedom and the defense of our homeland. And also we pray for them, that as they stand in the breech between our enemies and us, they might be protected in both body and soul in their service.

So long as we live in a world of sin, we will be subject to the wiles of the Devil and his evil intentions. That's why it's our joyful task as Christians to confess our faith in Jesus as Savior of all so that hearing that blessed Good News, none may perish eternally standing on their own strength and merit, but live with God forever in His heaven through the merit and life of His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.

We also pray for our enemies, even though in our hearts we have to admit that this is a very difficult thing to do. The truth is that our Lord Christ also died to save them, and in spite of the fact they may have rejected the work of our Savior for themselves, we pray Almighty God might somehow move them through the work of His Holy Spirit to believe and receive God's full and free salvation in Christ – so that trusting in Him for all things, they might confess their sin, repent of their evil ways, receive God's full and free forgiveness, and come forward to receive the earthly punishment they deserve for having committed so great a crime against humanity.

May God have mercy on us all!
