Our Worship is “Lutheran!”  Lutheran Worship centers in Christ.  Our church follows an annual cycle of readings and responses which unfold God’s eternal plan of salvation in the life, teaching, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  We Believe, Teach, and Confess that the true God is the Triune God:  Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as revealed in Scripture and confessed in the Creeds of the Church.  Jesus Christ, true God and man, reconciled all people to God through His substitutionary life, death on the cross, and resurrection.  The Bible is God’s Holy Word, given by inspiration to reveal to man his sin (Law) and God’s plan of salvation in Jesus Christ (Gospel).  God has given the Church two sacraments:  Holy Baptism and the Lord’s Supper.  Through these the Holy Spirit grants forgiveness of sins and strengthening of faith.  Man is saved by God’s grace alone, for Christ’s sake, through faith in the Gospel.

            

            We use the historic liturgies of the church.  The Lutheran Service Book is used for our orders of service.  The organ or piano is used to lead congregational singing.  Instruments and/or handbells are used at various times of the church year to enhance the musical accompaniment of the liturgy and hymns.

            Emanuel welcomes you in the name of Jesus who became one with us to save us and to live in us.  May He bless and keep you.
