Holy Cross is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). We are a confessional and Bible based church that believes that God’s Word is the final authority and guide for our lives.
What we believe…
We believe there is only one true God who is holy, eternal, and has all power and wisdom. In the Bible, God reveals himself as Triune – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
We believe the Bible is God’s Word. It’s true and without error.
We believe that God created the heavens and the earth and all that is in them.
We believe that men and women are a special creation of God, created in God’s own image.
We believe that we lost the image of God when Adam & Eve gave into the temptation of Satan in the Garden of Eden. This separated us from God and we are unable to reconcile ourselves to him. All people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and therefore cannot save themselves.
We believe that the gospel is the good news that a loving God sent Jesus Christ to take away the sins of all people, fully and freely given.
We believe Jesus was born of the virgin Mary, and that he suffered and died on the cross to pay for all of our sins.
We believe Jesus rose on Easter morning and conquered death. We are saved by grace through faith in God’s Son, Jesus Christ, and look forward to the day when we too will rise from the dead.
We believe that the Holy Spirit creates faith in our hearts through the gospel.
We believe that there is one holy, Christian church, made up of all who believe in Jesus. It is now the mission and responsibility of every believer to reach out with the Gospel to all nations.
We believe we become God’s children through baptism. We believe God’s love and forgiveness is ours in the Lord’s supper. We practice close communion as commanded by Scriptures. As servants of Christ, these beliefs will lead us to use our time, talents and treasures for the growth, preservation and the extension of Christ’s kingdom.
