Our Faith

We believe, teach, and confess...

• that the Bible is the inspired, inerrant, infallible Word of God
• that God is triune; three separate, divine persons yet one Being
• that the world was created in six, 24 hour days

• that marriage began in the Garden of Eden and that it is, properly speaking, a lifetime union only between a man and a woman
• that children are a gift from God; hence abortion is sinful
• that the miracles spoken about in Scripture are true
• that the purpose of the Old Testament was to testify to the coming, life, death, resurrection and 2nd coming of Jesus Christ
• that Jesus Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin (Mary), lived a perfect life, suffered, died and rose again for our salvation
• that Jesus instituted baptism for the remission of sins
• that Jesus instituted Holy Communion for the Church; giving us His actual Body and Blood; the forgiveness of sins purchased at the Cross
• that Jesus, along with the Father, gives us the Holy Spirit (the third person of the Godhead) through Holy Baptism, the Bible and the Sacrament of the Altar
• that we cannot by our own reasoning or strength come to Christ but that He comes to us through Baptism and the Word of God
• that all true believers will desire to worship together; the marks of the Church being the pure teaching and preaching of God’s Word and the proper administration of the Sacraments
• that when Jesus Christ comes again that He will appear in the sky with His angels; taking all believers first to Heaven, followed by the Judgment of unbelievers who will be sent to eternal Hell
• that all of God’s elect children shall enter into everlasting Paradise, by His grace through faith in Christ, where the Lord, His angels and all believers who have passed on before us wait with joy-filled hearts to greet us

Our Worship

At Christ the Rock we offer a reverent, liturgical style of worship rather than the sensationalistic worship style prevalent in today's modern churches. We utilize The Lutheran Hymnal and Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary for all services. For more information visit the Lutheran Hymnal Online.
