As Christians belonging to the Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod we believe that the Word of God as found in the Old and New Testaments and the Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, as commanded and instituted by Christ, are the means by which God comes to us. The Lutheran confession is often summarized in three phrases:
Word Alone Grace Alone Faith Alone
Word
Alone: In the inerrant Word, as written in
Holy Scriptures and as personified in Jesus Christ, who
died for our sins and rose again for our justification,
we place our trust. (John 1:1-5) Grace
Alone: We believe that we cannot do anything
by ourselves to earn our place in heaven, but that God,
our Father, offers the unmerited gift of salvation
through Jesus Christ.(Titus 3:4-7) Faith
Alone: We believe that we cannot achieve
faith by ourselves, but that the Holy Spirit calls us by
the Gospel and works faith in our hearts "even as He
calls, gathers, enlightens and sanctifies the whole
Christian church on earth and keeps it with Jesus Christ
in the one true faith." (Luther's Small Catechism.
Explanation to the Third Article)Christ spoke of Himself as the Good Shepherd, and commanded
His disciples, "Feed My sheep." Lutherans, therefore,
refer to their called spiritual leaders as "Pastor."
Lutherans of the Missouri Synod commonly practice "close"
communion. We celebrate the Lord's Supper or Holy Eucharist
together because we are "close" in faith. That means we
totally agree concerning the doctrines taught and revealed in
Holy Scripture. Our communion practice stems from the firm belief
that communion is the most intimate expression of doctrinal unity
with those joining us at the Lord's table. Holy Communion is a
sacrament OF unity not a sacrament TOWARDS unity.
This practice of a communion of
closeness in doctrine and faith is Scriptural as well as an
ancient practice of Christ's Church.
Lutherans believe in the real presence of Christ in the Sacrament
of the Altar. That is, we believe that Christ's body is truly
present and received in, with and under the bread, and His blood
in, with and under the wine of the Holy Supper. (Matthew 26:26,28)
Lutheran Church--Missouri Synod has
a Home Page which links to its St. Louis offices, its university
system, charitable organizations and other activities. (You may
have reached our page in this way.)
The Small Catechism, written by Dr. Martin Luther, is
accepted in all the world's Lutheran bodies. It is an exposition
of the Lutheran position on basic Christian doctrine, using the
Bible as the text, with questions and answers to aid in
understanding. Written for the education of children, it is also
useful for adults.
