Ascension Lutheran Church

We believe that the Holy Bible is the Living Word of God and functions as the authority in matters of faith and life. We believe that there is one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. We believe that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully human, who by His death and resurrection has redeemed us and is our personal Lord and Savior. We believe the Holy Spirit is always present at work in a community of believers. Its gifts vary from person to person, subsequently all gifts are celebrated. We believe that no one is perfect and the human condition is by nature sinful and unclean. Human beings need God’s love, forgiveness, and abounding grace. We believe in the power of prayer and pledge to become more faithful in our collective and individual prayer life. We believe, teach and profess that Jesus Christ is truly present in, around and under the elements of bread and wine. In Holy Baptism, we believe, teach and profess that one is initiated into the family of Christ. In these two sacraments, God’s amazing gift of grace refreshes us through life-giving water, and nourishes us to go forth and proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ. We believe we are a part of a greater body of Christ alive in the world.
