School Notes
St. Paul Lutheran Church, School, and Childcare is part of The
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS). The LCMS is a
mission-oriented and Bible-based denomination that confesses the
historic, orthodox Christian faith in the Triune God, Father, Son,
and Holy Spirit, a faith built on "the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone" (Eph.
2:20). With the universal Christian Church, The Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the
Triune God, who created all that exists; became man to suffer, die,
and rise again for the world`s redemption; and brings people to
faith and new life through His Word and Sacraments. The three
persons of the Trinity Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are coequal and
coeternal, one God.
