About Trinity Lutheran Church
-
Welcome to Trinity Lutheran Church!
If you are new, considering a visit, or haven’t been here in a while, we would like to help you along. We understand that a new church can be intimidating, so we are here to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
We believe in the following:
Being “Lutheran,” our congregation accepts and teaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Scripture alone, Faith alone.
Grace alone God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
Faith alone By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.
Scripture alone The Bible is God’s inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
If you have any questions about what we believe, or want to understand these three points better, Please feel free to email Pastor Ken or call the church office at 317-897-0243.
