Our Supporters

The Lutheran Churches of the Common Confession (LC3) graphic of LCCC logo is first and foremost an association of congregations who have gathered around a common confession of faith. As such, we are interested in cooperative ministry with all who share our same confession of faith, and who seek to engage in the mission of Christ in the world.

We welcome the support of organizations, ministries, and individual church leaders who are ministry partners with us in the mission of the gospel and the reform and renewal of the church.

Support from Pr.al Leaders

The congregations of LC3 look to the leadership of Pr.s and lay ministers who are grounded in the Word of God as the authority of their preaching and teaching, and who intentionally articulate a theology in harmony with the Lutheran Confessional writings.

In addition to the clergy who serve LC3 member-congregations, the association invites Pr.s and professional lay leaders who subscribe to the Common Confession to list their name as supporters of LC3. New names will be included on the list below, among the leaders of congregations that are already a part of LC3.

To be included on the list of individual supporters, please send your request to LC3@lutherancore.org with your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, and current congregation, along with the name of the synod or district to which you belong.

Contact information for ELCA Pr.s and professional lay leaders can be found by using the ELCA Website “Roster Look-up System” at www.elca.org/it/findldr.html. If there are errors in the list below, please contact the webmaster at LC3@lutherancore.org.
