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)

McCain, Paul T., (General Editor), Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions: A Reader's Edition of the Book of Concord - 2nd edition. Concordia Publishing House, 2006."The Book of Concord should be in every Lutheran home. If a person isn't familiar with this book, he'll think, 'That old book is just for pastors. I don't have to preach. After working all day, I can't sit down and study in the evening. If I read my morning and evening devotions, that's enough.' No, that is not enough! The Lord doesn't want us to remain children, blown to and fro by every wind of doctrine; instead of that, He wants us to grow in knowledge so that we can teach others" ( Dr. C.F.W. Walther).
