Lutherans get their name from the Reformer, Martin
Luther. Dr. Martin Luther was a German monk and scholar.
The Reformation took place in the 1500's. Martin Luther
did not wish that his followers be called Lutherans, but
they were and we are.
We Lutherans believe, teach and confess:
· that God is Father, Son and Holy Spirit; yet one God - the Triune God
· that God is Creator of all things, Preserver and Sovereign
· that the Bible is God's Word to call People to Jesus Christ and to correction in righteousness
· that the Spirit of God stirs people to believe in God
· that salvation is obtained through GRACE, that it is a gift from God through his Son, Jesus Christ, and not through good works
· that good works are an outpouring of our faith in Jesus Christ

"council" is a group of church officials and theologians who
regulate and administer matters of doctrine and discipline.
