What We Believe
All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus (Romans 3:23-24).
We believe sin is the problem at the root of all pain and suffering in our world.
We believe redemption through Jesus Christ is God's freely given solution for sin.
Therefore, Jesus is at the center of everything we believe and do. His grace is revealed to people in the Bible, God's perfect Word. Through God's Word, the Holy Spirit leads people to faith in Jesus, the friend of sinners.
Grace alone. Faith alone. Christ alone. Scripture alone.
All to God’s glory alone.
As a confessional Lutheran church, this is what we are all about.
St. Peter is a member of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod.
