Finally brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things.

Grace Alone
At Beautiful Savior, we believe that God’s grace is a gift freely given, not earned, by faith in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:9–9).
He gives us this gift through his Word & Sacraments, including baptism & holy communion.
We believe that Church is more than a place or an hour in your week. Guided by God’s Word, Beautiful Savior comes together to encourage one another and grow in our knowledge of God's grace as we look forward to an eternity spent with Him.

FAITH ALONE
Faith isn’t about having everything figured out or holding your life together perfectly. It’s about trust — resting in what Jesus has already done for you (Hebrews 11).
Salvation isn’t about us climbing up to God; it’s about God coming down to us (Philippians 2:4–11).
Faith simply receives what Jesus has already won.

Christ Alone
At the center of everything is Jesus.
He’s not just a wise teacher, guru, or celebrity. He's your flesh-and-blood Savior who came to earth to live and die for you. (John 3:16–17)
Your hope isn’t found in vague spirituality, success, or self-improvement — it’s found in Christ alone.

Scripture Alone
We believe the Bible isn’t just an old book full of rules — it’s God’s living and active Word (Hebrews 4:12).
It tells the true story of who God is, who we are, and what he’s done to rescue us.
We trust the Bible because it’s where God speaks clearly, showing us his promises and his heart.
In a world full of noise and opinions, Scripture gives us something solid and unchanging to build our lives on (Matthew 7:24-27).
