Our Belief.
Our Belief is based on the following principles called Solas.
Sola Scriptura: Scripture alone.
We believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God and that alone is the source and norm for our belief and our practice. We do not use any other standard to judge all things.
Sola Gratia: Grace Alone.
At the core of our belief is the assurance that salvation is based on the unearned free gift of God’s grace. Although we are sinful in nature and deserve God’s anger, instead we receive the riches of His love.
Sola Fide: Faith Alone.
God’s gift of grace is received through faith alone in what Jesus has done for us. His work on the cross has made us right with God. Nothing else. We cannot do anything to add to it or subtract from it.
Sola Cristo: Christ Alone.
Our sole basis and assurance of salvation is the life, death and resurrection of God’s Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus died for the sins of the entire world past present and future. Jesus is the only way to Father.
Our Vision.
Encounter, Equip & Engage.
We believe that people need to encounter the God who created them. The first and greatest encounter is our salvation, but it doesn’t end there. We endeavor to build our lives pursuing God’s presence and trusting His power to manifest in our day-to-day lives.
We believe God desires His children to grow into strong and mature disciples who walk in freedom and victory in their lives. We desire to see people “equipped for the work of the ministry.”
We believe people are part of Gods family, and this requires strong, authentic relationships with other believers and to be intentional in building those relationships. We also desire to see our church engaging our community and sharing the love of Jesus with everyone.
Our Mission.
Our mission is to build a culture where people know God and advance His Kingdom. Our Mission is accomplished through our Vision that everyone in our church encounters Jesus, becomes equipped in their faith and relationship with Christ, and engages our community with the love of Jesus everywhere they go.

The North American Lutheran Church
The North American Lutheran Church was established in 2010. See its history on the website thenalc.org
The North American Lutheran Church Four Core Values:
Christ Centered
We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Holy Scriptures. We affirm the authority of the Scriptures as the authoritative source and norm, “according to which all doctrines should and must be judged” (Formula of Concord). We accept the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true witnesses to the Word of God.
Mission Driven
We believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to make disciples for Christ. We believe that making disciples — in our congregations, in our communities and nations, and around the world — must be a priority of the Church in the present age.
Traditionally Grounded
We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the Church across time and space. We endorse the form and practices of the universal Church that are consistent with Scripture, particularly the office of the ministry and the tradition of worship under Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship with other Lutheran churches and with faithful Christians of other confessions.
Congregationally Focused
We strive to be a church that is organized to facilitate the ministries of local congregations in a posture of servanthood and a spirit of partnership, through the provision of resources, connections and information.
