We believe…
…in the Triune God: Father, Son,
and Holy Ghost;
… that all people are in bondage
to sin, death, and the devil, and are unable to make themselves
right with God on their own;
… that Jesus Christ is true God and
true man; that He lived a perfect life for us, shed His blood
for us on the cross to pay for our sins, and that He rose from
the grave on the third day;
… that the Holy Spirit delivers Christ's
forgiveness, life, and salvation to us through the Preaching of
the Gospel, Holy Baptism, Holy Absolution, and the Lord's Supper.
… that Jesus instituted the Office
of the Holy Ministry to continue His forgiving presence in His
gifts of Preaching and the Sacraments;
… that Jesus will come again on the
Last Day to judge the living and the dead and to give eternal
life to all who believe in Him;
… that the Bible is the inspired
Word of God and that the Book
of Concord (the Confessions of the Evangelical Lutheran
Church) and the three
ecumenical creeds are a correct exposition of the Word
of God.

About" pamphlets.
