About Lutheran CORE

Mission Statement:

Mobilizing confessing Lutherans for evangelical renewal

Lutheran CORE is a broad-based coalition of pastors, lay people, congregations, renewal groups and two churches - Augsburg Lutheran Churches and the North American Lutheran Church. We also have members in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the Lutheran Church-International. We seek to uphold the authority of God's Word over all matters of faith and life according to the Lutheran confessions within churches and work for their renewal by:

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

Our four primary goals are:

  • Uphold the authority of the Word of God over all matters of faith and life within and throughout our churches
  • Help Lutherans stay focused on the Great Commission to make disciples of Christ
  • Preserve in teaching and worship the revealed, proper name for the triune God: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
  • Uphold the biblical norms for marriage, family and sexuality

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