About Lutheran CORE

Lutheran CORE is a coalition of pastors, lay people, congregations and reforming groups. We seek to preserve within the Lutheran churches in North America the authority of the Word of God according to the Lutheran confessions. Our intention is to work with congregations, individuals, and other reform-minded groups for the renewal of churches, by:

  1. Encouraging individual reform-minded congregations, laypersons, and pastors.photo of church congregation
  2. Supporting and offering coordination for the various Lutheran renewal groups in North America.
  3. Addressing significant theological issues.

Among a host of issues, there are four that trouble us most deeply. These are:

  • the need to affirm the authority of the Word of God within and throughout our church;
  • staying focused on the Great Commission to make disciples of Christ;
  • preserving in teaching and worship the biblical name for the triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
  • and our profound concern over changes in doctrine and practice regarding marriage and sexuality.

As a community of confessing Lutherans we are committed to raising up leaders at all levels of our church who share our convictions regarding Biblical authority and confessional loyalty.

Lutheran CORE is a broad based coalition of individuals, churches and reform groups whose goal is to work for the renewal of the Lutheran churches.
