North American Lutheran Church

North American Lutheran Church - Christ Centered: We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Scriptures.
(1)

We affirm the authority of the canonical Holy Scriptures as the only source and norm of our faith and life. We accept the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true witnesses to the Word of God.

- Mission Driven: We believe that making disciples for Christ is the core priority of the Church, that congregation planting is often best done through local congregations, and that both exter

nal and internal evangelization must be a priority of the Church in the present age.

- Traditionally Grounded: We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the Church across time and space. We endorse the form and practices of the universal Church that are consistent with Scripture, particularly the office of the ministry and the tradition of worship under Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship with other Lutheran churches and with faithful Christians of other confessions.

- Congregationally Focused: We envision a new church body and confessing community that are organized to facilitate the ministries of local congregations in a posture of servanthood and a spirit of partnership, through the provision of resources, connections and information.

Each year, NALC congregations complete a brief Congregational Report that helps the church body stay connected and better support congregations, pastors, and mission districts across North America.
