Pastor's Beliefs

Pastor Preece has been ordained in the Lutheran Church Missori Synod. Therefore Pastor adheres to the beliefs proclaimed by the LCMS. This includes:

  • Scripture Alone: The Bible is the infallible Word of God and the sole source of Christian doctrine.
  • Grace Alone: Salvation is a free gift from God, not earned by human effort.
  • Faith Alone: Faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to receive salvation.
  • Christ Alone: Jesus is the sole mediator between God and humanity; salvation comes through His death and resurrection.
  • Sacraments: Baptism and Holy Communion are means of grace through which God forgives sins and strengthens faith.
  • Trinity: One God in three persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • Original Sin: All humans are born sinful and need God’s grace for salvation.
  • Justification: Believers are justified (made righteous) by faith in Christ alone.
  • Good Works: While not a means to salvation, good works naturally flow from genuine faith.
  • The Church: The true Church is made up of all believers, centered on the Word and Sacraments.
  • End Times: Christ will return to judge all, and believers will inherit eternal life.
  • Confessions: LCMS adheres to the Lutheran Confessions as faithful interpretations of Scripture.
  • Sanctity of Life: Life is sacred from conception to natural death.
  • Marriage: Marriage is between one man and one woman for life, rejecting same-sex unions.
