Messiah Evangelical Lutheran Church, a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, is a conservative orthodox congregation in the tradition of confessional Lutheranism as defined in the unaltered Augsburg Confession of 1530. Messiah maintains a strict adherence to the Biblical mandates in the inerrancy of scripture, infant baptism, sin and repentance, and the real presence of Jesus Christ in Holy Communion.

We are a member congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod, a synod in fellowship with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, united in a common love of God's Word. It is dedicated to the spreading of the three great principles, the Word alone - by grace alone - by faith alone, which are the heritage of the Lutheran Church.

Description of ELS

The Evangelical Lutheran Synod is today typically "American," that is, it is a "melting pot" of every nationality and background. It had its origin among the early settlers of Norwegion descent. As orthodox, confessional Lutherans, we emrbace as our primary confessions of faith the symbolical books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord of 1580, namely the Apostles', Nicene and Athanasian Creeds, the Augsburg Confession and its Apology; the Smalcald Articles; Luther's Small and Large Catechisms and the Formula of Concord. We accept these Confessions, not in so far as, but because they agree with Scripture, and we believe that they are a correct exposition of the teaching of God's Word. Adherence to these confessions, drawn from Scripture, is in keeping with St. Peter's exhortation: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have" (1 Peter 3:15).
