Our Beliefs
Immanuel Lutheran Church is a congregation of the Texas District of The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod. We believe that the Bible is the inerrant and inspired Word of God (2 Timothy 3:16). The Bible reveals that all humans are separated from God by our sin (Romans 3:10-20). It also reveals that God became a human being, Jesus of Nazareth, through whom we are forgiven and restored to a right relationship with God (Romans 3:21-28). We call this announcement of forgiveness and reconciliation the Gospel, or Good News.Our congregation believes the 1580 Book of Concord is a clear explanation of the Scriptures’ essential teachings on God, Jesus, salvation, and the Christian life.
We believe that Holy Baptism is a gift from God where, through water and the Word, He declares us to be His children (Acts 2:38-39). This gift is for all people of all nations, whether young or old, rich or poor, “up and coming” or “down and out.”
We believe that in the Lord’s Supper Christians receive Christ’s body and blood for the forgiveness of our sins (Matthew 26:26-28). This is a sacred and holy meal, reserved for those who have made a public commitment to the Faith believed, taught and confessed by our congregation (1 Corinthians 1:10). If you are away from your home congregation, and would like to take communion with us, please get in touch with our pastor before you visit.
