Our Beliefs

This is how we view God, Jesus, the Bible, man, and many significant aspects of our faith. 

The Father

Creator of all that exists, loves and seeks to bless His people.  We desire to live under Him in His kingdom.

Jesus Christ, the Son

Who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan.

The Holy Spirit

Who creates faith and guides us into all Truth Through God’s Word and Sacraments.

The Trinity

The three persons of the Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God in relationship with each other for all eternity.

The Bible

The Bible is God’s inerrant Word.  It was written by human authors under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

The Gospel

Jesus is the only source of true healing available to humans.  God desires only that all people would come to faith in Jesus as Lord and Savior and be healed through His mercy.

Communion

Christ's true body and true blood are mysteriously present in, with and under the bread and wine. This sacramental meal was given by Jesus Himself for the forgiveness of our sins. If you believe these words, you are welcome to join us and experience forgiveness in a tangible way.

Membership

Take your next step and discover how you can go deeper.

You don’t ever have to become a member in order to worship at St. John or be a part of our family.  We do, however, encourage people to get connected, and one of the best ways to do that is to become a member. You’ll go deeper in your knowledge of what Lutherans believe, you’ll get connected to other people at St. John, and you’ll also be eligible to vote at our annual Voter’s Meeting.
