What We Believe

First Lutheran is a body of believers who have been called out from the world, following the teachings of Martin Luther.  We confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe.  We accept the Apostles, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of our faith.  First Lutheran Church belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) East-Central Synod of Wisconsin.

​​

 

Our mission: Together in Jesus Christ we are freed by grace to live faithfully, witness boldly, and serve joyfully.


Our vision: A world experiencing the difference that God’s grace and love in Christ make for all people and creation.

Our values: Our values are grounded in faith, in our biblical and Lutheran confessional sources, and our love of God and neighbor. They speak to the way this church lives and practices our faith, and they will guide how we journey forward in Christ as a church together.
