At St. Thomas, our mission is to build the community spiritually by spreading the Gospel truth of Jesus’ love. Our vision is to forge connections with God, with each other, and with the next generation through our values of faith, family, and eduction.

Our church believes, teaches, and confesses historic, creedal Christianity: one God in three Persons (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), and Jesus Christ—true God and true man—who lived, died, and rose to rescue the world from the power of sin, death, and the devil.

We believe the Bible is God’s Word and the final standard for what the Church teaches, and we read it as a single story that centers on Christ and His saving work. As a result of what God has done for us, we practice lives of love and service to neighbor within our God given vocations.

We walk in fellowship with Lutheran Church— Missouri Synod, a confessional Lutheran denomination of over 6,000 congregations. At the heart of LCMS belief is the Reformation’s core: we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone—not by earning God’s favor, but by receiving His gifts. God delivers those gifts through “means of grace”: His preached Word and His Sacraments—Baptism and the Lord’s Supper—where Christ’s forgiveness is given personally and concretely.

Our teaching is publicly summarized in the Luther’s Small Catechism and the Lutheran Confessions (the Book of Concord), because we believe they faithfully echo what Scripture says.
