The History of Immanuel
Lutheran Church |
Immanuel Lutheran Church is
humbled by the 24 years we have been members of the Sierra
Vista community. It is a good time for us to look back at
our beginning and forward to our future.

Belief and Practice |
Overview
With the universal Christian Church,
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God: the
Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son,
who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human
beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory
over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith
through God's Word and Sacraments. The three persons of the
Trinity are coequal and coeternal, one God.
Being "Lutheran,"
our congregations accept and teach Bible-based teachings of
Martin Luther
that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the
16th century. The teaching of Luther and the reformers can
be summarized in three short phrases:
Grace alone, Faith
alone, Scripture alone.
Lutheran Confessions
The Lutheran
Church—Missouri Synod accepts the Scriptures as the inspired
and inerrant Word of God, and subscribes unconditionally to
all the symbolical books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church
as a true and unadulterated statement and exposition of the
Word of God. We accept the Confessions because they are
drawn from the Word of God and on that account regard their
doctrinal content as a true and binding exposition of Holy
Scripture and as authoritative for all pastors,
congregations and other rostered church workers of The
Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
