The Lutheran Church is a Christian denomination. Lutherans derive their name from the reformer Martin Luther who made efforts to reform the theology and practice of the Roman Catholic Church in the 16th century. Lutherans hold the Holy Bible as the definitive source and guide to life. Lutherans believe that we are saved by God’s grace and not by what we do.
