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
