Peace Lutheran Church
Our Beliefs
Our History
Peace Lutheran Church confesses the true God to be the Holy Trinity-the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit-one God in three persons and three persons in one God. We hold without reservation to the doctrine of God set forth in the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian creeds. “We worship one God in three persons and three persons in one God, without mixing the persons or dividing the divine being.” [The Athanasian Creed]
We believe and confess that Jesus Christ is true God and true man in one unique person, and that he is equal to the Father and the Spirit in power and majesty. “We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and became fully human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures.” [The Nicene Creed]
We believe that the Holy Spirit is true God with the Father and the Son. We confess that the Spirit of God proceeds from the Father and the Son, that he is “the Lord, the giver of life.” The Holy Spirit does for us what we could not do by our own thinking or choosing: he calls us from the darkness of unbelief into the glorious light of faith in Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit “calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth, and keeps it with Jesus Christ in the one true faith.” [The Small Catechism]
This congregation accepts and confesses all the canonical books of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and submits to this Word as the only infallible authority in all matters of faith and life. By the grace of God we take a high view of the authority of Holy Scripture, confessing the Bible to be the very Word of God and therefore free from error. “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
Peace Lutheran Church accepts and confesses all the symbolical (confessional) books of the Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord of 1580 as true statements of Scriptural doctrine. They are:
The three ecumenical creeds: * The Apostles’ Creed * The Nicene Creed * The Athanasian Creed
The six Lutheran Confessions: * Dr. Martin Luther’s Small Catechism * Dr. Martin Luther’s Large Catechism
