In North America it has over 6,000 Churches with almost 3 million baptized members. What kind of a Church is “the Missouri Synod?”It is a BIBLE Church
The Lutheran Church believes that the Bible is the Word of God verbally inspired by the Holy Spirit and preserved by God in its inspiration, so that it is the only source and norm of our teachings and practice.
It is a MISSIONARY Church
Lutherans are conscious of the mandate of the Lord Jesus Christ “to preach the Gospel to every creature.” Each congregation seeks to share its faith with its community. Missionaries are sent throughout the world to help establish self-governing churches. Mass media is used to share the Gospel through such programs “The Lutheran Hour” and “This is the Life” and Trinity’s Cable Access Program “Time in the Word.”
It is a GOSPEL Church
The Lutheran Church teaches and preaches the “Good News” that God through His Son, Jesus Christ, reconciled the world to Himself. Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose from the grave on Easter morning in order to pay the penalty for sins and to release us from its power. This forgiveness and new life is offered to everyone. It is given by God’s love and received by faith.
It is a TEACHING Church
Lutherans support a large number of Parish Schools, Preschools, Colleges and Seminaries in addition to Sunday Schools and Bible Classes because we believe that faith in Jesus Christ is basic to a meaningful life.
It is a SACRAMENTAL Church
The Lutheran Church believes that Holy Baptism and Holy Communion are means by which the Holy Spirit comes to His people to create and nourish faith.
It is an ACTIVE Church
Lutherans believe that every Christian should be active in serving the Lord and witnessing to Him in every aspect of life. Organizations in the Church seek to motivate, equip and challenge us for service to Jesus Christ. There are many organizations for people to join and become active within our family. We support small groups for tasks, worship, witness, and growth in our Savior.
