Basic Beliefs of the ELCA

– We confess the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

– We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.

– We accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the authoritative source and norm of its proclamation, faith, and life.

– We accept the Apostles’, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the faith of this church.

– We 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 Church for God’s mission in the world.

God’s Work. Our Hands.
