We are a Protestant church with an evangelistic Lutheran tradition. There are 105 Lutheran Brethren congregations in the United States and Canada, and 1,535 churches and chapels in Cameroon, Chad, Japan, and Taiwan. A Gospel centered ministry where salvation by grace alone is proclaimed and where godly living, patterned after the principles of Scripture is encouraged. We believe that Christianity is not only a creed to confess but that it is a life to be lived for God in holiness. For that reason we seek to cultivate a sensitive spirit toward those who have spiritual struggles and try to minister God's grace to those needs.
People are often surprised when they attend our services.
The pastor does not wear vestments and the ritual of the Common Service is not used. Recognizing the freedom for different forms of worship allowed by the Lutheran Confessions, and believing that the New Testament worship forms were simple, we center our worship around the singing of gospel and worship songs, traditional hymns, and the sermon which is based on God's Word. I see that you have more members overseas. That must mean you have a strong mission program. From the very beginning our synod has had a vision for world missions, first in China, then in Cameroon, Chad, Japan, and Taiwan, where we now have teams of church planters, teachers, Bible translators, and health workers.
