We Believe

 

We believe that there is only one true God (Isaiah 44:6). He has made himself known as the triune God, one God in three persons. This is evident from Jesus’ command to his disciples to baptize “in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19). Whoever does not worship this God worships a false god, a god who does not exist. Jesus said, “He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him” (John 5:23).

As God’s people called together into membership of St. Peter Lutheran Church, Savanna, Illinois, we are instructed to spread the Word of God to carry out the Great Commission. The mission of our church is to make disciples by reaching out with the Gospel to all people.

To this end we commit ourselves to:

  • Give top priority to worship and faithful use of the Word and Sacraments.

  • Provide Christian education for all members to grow in faith and equip them for ministry.

  • Develop a positive attitude among our membership toward Christian discipleship and how they can better use their time, talents and treasures for the Lord.

  • Reach out to the lost in our community through personal witnessing and to support the mission efforts of the WELS.

  • Seek full involvement of our entire Christian family through fellowship groups and service opportunities in the church.
