| Holy Cross is a
confessional Lutheran Church. As such, we teaching nothing
contrary to what is confessed in the Confessions of the Evangelical
Lutheran Church, as contained in the
Book of
Concord. The word "confess," derived from Latin, literally
means "same-say." As a confessional Church, we believe, teach
and confess only what the Lord has first delivered in His Word.
As such, we stand in accordance with what our dear Lord Jesus says
to His disciples, "Therefore everyone who confesses Me before
men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven"
(Matt. 10:32). Our "confession" is a same-saying, or repeating
back before man what God has first delivered to us. As such,
we make these confessions our own because they are in full
accord with the Word of God.
Feel free to browse these confessions
on your own through the links below. A great starting place
would be the Small Catechism. If you have any further
questions about what Lutherans believe, teach and confess, please do
not hesitate to contact Pastor Fouts.
