      <image:title>What We Teach - About God</image:title>
      <image:caption>We confess the Triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - who create, restore and sustain all things. We proclaim Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We believe the Holy Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies the whole Church on earth and preserves it in union with Jesus Christ in faith.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What We Teach - About Faith</image:title>
      <image:caption>Faith is the relationship the Holy Spirit creates with us. It's a relationship where God's promise of steadfast love and mercy in Jesus opens us to a life of bold trust in God and joyful, generous service to everyone we know and meet in daily life.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What We Teach - About Scripture</image:title>
      <image:caption>We accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God.  Despite the diversity of viewpoints and the complexity of the many narratives contained in the Scriptures, we believe that the story of God's steadfast love and mercy in Jesus is the heart and center of what the Scriptures have to say.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What We Teach - About Communion</image:title>
      <image:caption>We believe that in the Sacrament the crucified and risen Christ is Present, giving his true body and blood as food and drink.  Communicants receive not only bread and wine, but also the same body and blood of Christ that was given for us on the cross.  This real presence is a mystery.</image:caption>

      <image:title>What We Teach - About Our Denomination and Synod</image:title>
      <image:caption>Atonement Lutheran Church is a member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The ELCA is the largest Lutheran Church body in the United States. It is through the ELCA that we are able to unite with other churches across the nation to support those in need and gain support for our congregations.</image:caption>
