Lutherans see themselves as evangelical (preaching the Good News of Jesus Christ), catholic (part of the universal tradition of the Church), and orthodox (affirming the creeds and confessions of Christians through the ages). Our life together is centered on grace and the gifts of God's word and the sacraments: baptism and the Eucharist (Holy Communion). Learn more about our denomination by exploring these resources:
