Our Beliefs

What we believe about abortion and suicide:

The Bible and Lutherans teach that human life is the gift of a gracious God. Our life is a time of grace during which we have opportunity to learn the way of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Only God has the right to take the life he has given. Life begins at conception and ends when the soul leaves the body.

Acts 17:25-26
He himself [God] gives all man life and breath...In him we live and move and have our being.

Isaiah 55:6
Seek the LORD while he may be found.

2 Corinthians 6:1,2
We urge you not to receive God's grace in vain...I tell you now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

Psalm 31:15
My times are in your hands.

Exodus 20:13
You shall not murder.

Psalm 139:13-16
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb...My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

Jeremiah 1:5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
