Our beliefs
St. Mark is a welcoming congregation, belonging to The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
We preach Christ Jesus and Him crucified. He is the only way to be saved, through His death and resurrection.
We confess the three ecumenical creeds.
We hold to the Lutheran Confessions, which are found in the Book of Concord.
We preach Law and Gospel.
We practice closed Communion, not out of division, but out of love. We really do want everyone to be at the altar with us; it just might take a little time. Talking with the pastor before the service you come to will help explain that more.
We practice Baptism, not multiple times, but once for the forgivness of sins. We believe that in Baptism, a person, no matter how small, is given the gift of the Holy Spirit who brings faith, forgiveness, and the resurrection unto everlasting life.
We believe that Christ forgives our sins through Word and Sacrament—a pastor who has been given to the Church to forgive sins, Baptism which creates faith and brings you into the Kingdom, and the Lord's Supper which strengthens you to life forever.
