Messiah Lutheran Church - Independence, MO

Messiah Lutheran Church - Independence, MO Located in Independence, MO, we are a Lutheran Church in the Missouri Synod. WE BELIEVE in God's grace, and faith created in us by the Holy Spirit.

MESSIAH LUTHERAN CHURCH is a part of the Missouri District (https://mo.lcms.org/) of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (https://www.lcms.org/). This comes through the words and teachings of the Bible. We believe in the Triune God, Three in One - the Father who created and preserves us, his Son Jesus who lived and died, and rose again from the dead to give us life now and forever, and the Holy Spi

rit who works faith in us. GRACE ALONE - God loves you even though you are sinful, and do not deserve His love. He sent Jesus, His Son, to love the unlovable and save the ungodly. FAITH ALONE - By His suffering and death as a sacrifice, Jesus purchased and won forgiveness and eternal life for you. Those who hear this Good News and believe it have the eternal life it offers. God creates faith in Christ and gives people forgiveness through Him. SCRIPTURE ALONE - The Bible is God's inerrant and infallible Word, in which He reveals His Law and His Gospel of salvation in Jesus Christ. It is the sole rule and norm for Christian doctrine. Christians are witnesses to the mercy of God, and we celebrate that life together every day.
