We are a Christian congregation, a denominational member of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod, located in the Southern Illinois District. We hold the Holy Scriptures in the Old and New Testaments to be the inspired Word of God. We also hold the Lutheran Confessions to be a correct exposition of the Scriptures. These documents norm our teaching and preaching.
Mission
That faith may grow, that love may show, that more may know.
