We believe that Jesus is the center - not just of Clarence Center, New York, where we gather - but the center of the universe and the center of our story.

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” (Colossians 1:15–20, ESV)

We are joyfully Lutheran and confess our faith in line with the historic Christian faith, expressed in the Bible and communicated through Luther’s Small Catechism.
