"Gloria Dei" is Latin for "Glory of God". "Evangelical" means we teach the good news of salvation through the free grace of God. We believe as Martin Luther did, who began the Reformation in 1517.Gloria Dei Evangelical Lutheran Church

QUESTIONS?

·        I don’t need a church – I’m a good person!

·        One church is the same as another – we just have different names for God!

·        If God loves us, how can he let so much suffering go on in the world?

·        God doesn’t want me – besides, the churches are just full of hypocrites!

·        Life is cruel, and then you die – what’s the point?

·        Who’s Martin Luther?
 

WHAT WE BELIEVE

  • Jesus Christ, the Eternal Son of God, has paid the entire price for the sin and wickedness of all mankind by his innocent suffering and death.
  • By His resurrection on Easter, we can be certain that God’s wrath has been satisfied, and that all who believe in Him will rise also at the last day.
  • That God the Holy Ghost calls men to faith through the Gospel, found in His infallible, inspired Word, the Bible.
  • A comprehensive summary was drafted in 1932 as the Brief Statement.
 
“Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.”
