We Believe
We Believe
One True God: We believe in one true God, who is the Triune God—three Persons in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 13:14)
Creator and Caretaker: God created everything with His wisdom and power, and He continues to lovingly care for His creation today. (Genesis 1:1, Matthew 6:25-33)
Salvation through Jesus: Jesus Christ, God the Son, died and was resurrected to save us from the consequences of our sins. Out of love, He took upon Himself the punishment we deserved on the cross, triumphing over Satan, sin, and death. (John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:7-11)
The Holy Spirit's Role: The Holy Spirit actively works to guide people to faith in Jesus. (John 14:26, John 15:26)
Human Sinfulness: All humans have sinned and are in need of God's forgiveness and salvation. (Romans 3:10-12, 23)
Salvation by Faith: Salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, not through our own good deeds. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Inspired Scriptures: God has provided us with the Scriptures, which are His divinely inspired Word. (2 Timothy 3:14-17)
God's Ongoing Work: God promises to continue working in the lives of His people through His Word and the Sacraments. (Matthew 28:18-20
Alaska Mission for Christ
Alaska Mission for Christ
The AMC is a unique ministry. Very few Circuits have their own mission arm. In Alaska, because congregations have trouble reaching all the opportunities and responsibilities to share Jesus, the LCMS Churches in Alaska formed the AMC. Technically, therefore, this is not an organization outside our congregation, but an extension of our congregation, perhaps a daughter. AMC is totally focused on doing mission work in various forms with the motto of Sharing Christ in the Last Frontier. The goal is often stated that AMC seeks to bring Jesus to every Alaskan community.
Funny River Community Lutheran Church traces its origin to support from the AMC. We continue to support this ministry with our prayers, involvement in outreach, Vacation Bible School ministry and special events.
For additional information, see the AMC website
St. John Lutheran Church is a member congregation of The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. As such, St. John participates in the world-wide mission and ministry of the LCMS. This ministry takes the congregation from Alaska to the Northwest District and beyond.
Members of the congregation are encouraged to look beyond the congregation and community in their prayers, service and financial support.
