+ As a congregation, and as individual members, we reach out to those in our communities and families who do not yet know Jesus as their God and Savior. We do that in various ways with God's Word. We are confident that it is always God alone who is at work to save the lost through his Word.

+ We accept the 1529 Small Catechism of Dr. Martin Luther and the other writings contained in the 1580 Christian Book of Concord as true summary of God’s Biblical Word.
+ Our congregation uses the orders of service (liturgies) and the hymns contained in our church body's official hymnal, Lutheran Worship, to teach the Christian faith among us; to confess this faith before the world; to express our unity in faith with fellow Lutherans.
+ Since its foundation in 1866, Trinity Lutheran Church of Carver has been associated with the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
+ Membership in our congregation is open to everyone who, after careful instruction in God’s Word, agrees with us on what God’s Word teaches.
