Living Word is a Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod congregation, part of the LCMS Minnesota North District.  Click HERE for a brief history of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod.

Being "Lutheran," our congregation accepts and teaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Scripture alone, Faith alone.

Grace alone
God loves the people of the world, even though they are sinful, rebel against Him and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly.
Scripture alone
The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine.
Faith alone
By His suffering and death as the substitute for all people of all time, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for them. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life that it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him.

Cross 72 dpiThe LCMS logo is three crosses in one.  It declares that “we worship one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity.”

The open arms point upward toward God in prayer and openly receive God’s grace.  The lower arms point down, as if open to embrace the world with God’s love.

The 12 individual parts of the logo cross remind us of the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles.  The four arms appear to be in motion, as we urgently tell the world what God’s love in Jesus Christ means to us and, uniquely, as Missouri Synod Lutherans.
