What We Believe - St. Paul’s Lutheran Church of Blossom

We believe, teach, and preach the Christian faith as it has been handed down to us across countless generations from Jesus Christ and His first disciples and apostles. We believe in the Triune God and affirm the historic creeds of the church: the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.

We are a member of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). Click the logo to learn more. Listed below are the four strands of our DNA.

We are all working together to fulfill Christ’s Great Commission to go and make disciples of all nations

“Churches not deeply rooted in the narratives and doctrines of scripture will produce tumbleweed Christians blown about by every wind of manmade teaching.”

*We believe, teach, and confess the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

*We believe, teach, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe in him.

–Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.

–The proclamation of God’s message to us as both law and gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy in the person and work of Jesus Christ through whom God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself.

Inspired by God’s Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God’s revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God’s Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.
