Our Savior's Lutheran Church of Chadron, Nebraska believes, teaches and confesses that: The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God, is the only source of truth for Christian faith and life; The Triune God of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the one, true, living and almighty God; We are strengthened in faith through receiving Baptism, regularly hearing God's Word, and celebrating Holy Communion. These are essential to share God's Grace.
Our calling is to preach and teach the Word of God to all the nations. "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you . . ." (Matthew 28:19)
