About Us
It's Okay to Ask What is Lutheran
The Lutheran Church is founded on the Holy Scriptures as the Word of God. It also accepts the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed as true expositions of the biblical, evangelical, protestant, and universal faith.
​
In the 16th century, the Lutheran Reformation began. Its only goal was to remove all unbiblical practices introduced into the church and retain all that was in agreement with the Word of God, or that was not prohibited by it.
​
The Lutheran Church's central message is that of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, who died on the cross for the forgiveness of sins and rose again on the third day, and now intercedes for us before the throne of our God the Father Almighty.
