What We Believe

CALVARY FREE LUTHERAN CHURCH

We accept and believe in the Holy Bible as the complete written Word of God, preserved to us by the Holy Spirit for our salvation and instruction.

"We bear witness that the Bible is our only authentic and infallible source of God's revelation to us and all men, and that it is the only inerrant and completely adequate source and norm of Christian doctrine and life. We hold that the Bible, as a whole and in all its parts, is the Word of God under all circumstances regardless of man's attitude toward it." (2 Timothy 3:16-17) - AFLC, What We Believe

Here at Calvary, we believe that the following five documents are true expressions of Biblical teaching regarding the Christian faith and life:

1. Apostles' Creed

2. Nicene Creed

3. Athanasian Creed

4. Luther's Small Catechism

5. Augsburg Confession

Concerning teachings on baptism and the Lord's Supper, we refer to Luther's Small Catechism. A summary of the Biblical teaching regarding Baptism in Luther's Small Catechism can be found here, and a summary of the Biblical teaching regarding the Lord's Supper can be found here.
