About Us

 

What We Believe

As a congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, Light of the Valley Lutheran Church  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. To learn more about the doctrines and belief of the LCMS go to LCMS WebSite.
