Good Shepherd Lutheran Church
The Shepherd crosses all boundaries to gather all nations.
We Believe:
-
that the Bible is God's Word to us. It reveals His will for our lives and His plan for our salvation. [Scriptural]
-
that God made us and everything else in this vast and incredibly complex universe. He remains concerned about us and powerfully at work in His creation. [Creational]
-
that we and our world no longer enjoy the peace and harmony which God intended; in fact, we often suffer disorder, sorrow, and confusion because of something called sin. Sin is a destroyer of relationships.
-
that God's love for sinful people led Him to send His Son. Jesus' death on the cross and His resurrection gained the forgiveness of sin and a new life with God. This forgiveness and new life come as free gifts of God's love to all who trust in Jesus Christ. (click: Who is Jesus?) [Incarnational]
-
that the Holy Spirit makes this gift of undeserved love a living reality as He works in our lives through His chosen channels: the Bible, Baptism, and the Lord's Supper. [Sacramental]
-
that God's people find their greatest fulfillment as they discover, develop, and use the God-given abilities which make each one a uniquely valuable member of God's family, the Church. [Relational]
-
that God desires to work through His gifted people to reach out and touch others and to draw them into a relationship with Himself, restored in Jesus Christ.
