Marcus, IA - Trinity Lutheran Church

Baptized in the name of the Triune God, we are members of Christ's Body and are gathered into the one family of God with all others who share that baptism. In this family, the Church, our lives are joined also with past generations of Christ's people, as together we listen to the Word of God. All of us have been nourished and instructed by the Holy Scriptures, which tell of God's work in His people Israel and in Jesus the Messiah-the story of God's love for the world. We have been nourished and instructed also by the Church's ancient creeds-Apostles, Nicene, and Athanasian. These Creeds guide and focus our own efforts to tell of God's mercy, enacted in Jesus as the hope and life of the world. The people of God are called to worship the Trinity in unity and the unity in Trinity. Our worship and our work does not focus on us but rather on God who is present for us and with us through His Word and Sacraments. We publically confess what we believe about God in the three ecumenical creeds.
