Teachings
We believe that Holy Scripture is divinely inspired, free from error, and profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness (2 Tim. 3:16).
We believe, teach, and confess that The Christian Book of Concord (Dresden, 1580) is a faithful exposition of Holy Scripture. Holy Cross is committed to teach and do that which is in complete harmony with the Lutheran Confessions that are contained in that book, including:
The Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds
The Unaltered Augsburg Confession
The Apology (Defense) of the Augsburg Confession
The Smalcald Articles
A Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope
Luther's Small and Large Catechisms
The Formula of Concord
If you are unfamiliar with Lutheran teachings, Luther's Small Catechism would be a wonderful place to start.
