FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK
We make life way too complicated at times. This may help us see a simpler way. From the book by Suzanne Woods Fisher, “Amish Proverbs,” Words of Wisdom from a Simple Life.
The higher a man gets in divine grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.Faith is the bridge over which we can cross all the unknown waters of tomorrow.
Nothing last forever, not even troubles.
A heart at peace gives life to the body.You can’t stumble when you’re on your knees.
God speaks to those who are quiet before Him.
Many times we are climbing mountains when we ought to be quietly resting.Patience is a virtue that carries a lot of wait.
Regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow are twin thieves that rob of the moment.
Enjoy today…….it won’t come back.
Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.
You are only poor when you want more than you have.
He who has no money is poor; he who has nothing but money is even poorer.
Laziness travels so slowly that poverty soon overtakes it.
When fear knocks at the door, send faith to answer.
Doubt has never changed anything. Belief changes things.
Walk softly, speak tenderly, and pray fervently.
When I have nothing left but God, then I find that God is all I need.
Let your life’s story be for God’s glory,Pastor Will

Statement of Faith
We believe, teach, and confess the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe, teach, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe in him.
Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.
The proclamation of God's message to us as both law and gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy in the person and work of Jesus Christ through whom God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself.
The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God. Inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God's Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.
We believe, teach, and accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the sole authoritative source and norm of our proclamation, faith, and life.
We accept the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the scriptural faith we believe, teach, and confess.
We believe, teach, and accept the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and the Small Catechism as true witnesses to the Word of God, normative for our teaching and practice. We acknowledge that we are one in faith and doctrine with all churches that likewise accept the teachings of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.
We believe, teach, and confess the other confessional writings in the Book of Concord namely, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald
Articles, the Treatise, the Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord, as further valid expositions of the Holy Scriptures.
We believe, teach, and confess the gospel, recorded in the Holy Scriptures and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran confessional writings, as the power of God to create and sustain the priesthood of all believers for God's mission in the world.
