What Lutherans Believe
Pastor Jeff Ruby and Peter Faur
Thursdays, Jan 8 - Feb 12
10am
Room B
Pastor Jeff Ruby and La Casa de Cristo member Peter Faur present a six week class “What Lutherans Believe” as we kick off 2026 with the Pastor’s Thursday Bible Study
We will explore together what are some Lutheran distinctives such as grace; the three solas; our creedal statements; and the major tenets of the Lutheran faith. We will use the Small Catechism of Luther as our guide, but also explore what makes our theology unique, as well as our commitment to the wider Apostolic Church.
Come join us, coffee and doughnuts provided!
