Lutherans believe that the Holy Scriptures are the written Word of God and the only rule and norm of faith and of practice. We believe that the Lutheran Confessions, contained in the Book of Concord of 1580 are a true and unadulterated statement and exposition of the Word of God.>>> Source LCMS Website

We hold that Jesus Christ crucified and risen again for the forgiveness of our sins (justification) is the very center and core of who we are. Our Lord comes to us to forgive us sins and give us Himself
through the Word of God, preaching, baptism, absolution (forgiveness) and the Lord's Supper.
