THE

FELLOWSHIP OF

LUTHERAN

CONGREGATIONS

Fellowship
We are a group of Christians gathered together in fellowship built on all the truths of God's Word, the Bible, neither adding to it nor subtracting from it, and, by God's grace, endeavoring to remain faithful to its teachings.
 

Lutheran
We are a fellowship of confessing Christians which identifies itself with the Lutheran Confessions as found in the Book of Concord. We fully accept these Confessions, not merely as historical statements, but as true explanations and summarizations of the teachings of the Bible. These Lutheran Confessions add nothing new nor subtract anything from the teachings of the Bible. As confessional Lutherans we, by God's grace, are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief Cornerstone.

Congregations
We are a group of Christian congregations which, by mutual consent, has joined together in a Scripturally-permitted human arrangement known as The Fellowship of Lutheran Congregations. Through shared encouragement and support in the F.L.C., we are better able to carry out the work that our Savior would have us to do. While the congregations together make up one whole, the whole is not placed in a position above its parts. Each congregation retains all its God-given rights and powers conferred by Holy Scripture upon a Christian congregation.
