If you've found your way to this page you're probably wondering about this North American Lutheran Church (NALC).
The NALC was born on August 27, 2010.
A one-time member of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), Holy Trinity completed the transition from an ELCA congregation to a congregation of the NALC on September 22, 2010. Yes, we are a member church dating to the day the NALC was formed.
While the NALC is a church in its infancy we
source the strong lineage of Martin Luther, the great church
reformer, and the foundation provided in the works included in the
Book of Concord.
We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Holy Scriptures. We affirm the authority of the Scriptures as the authoritative source and norm, “according to which all doctrines should and must be judged” (Formula of Concord). We accept the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true witnesses to the Word of God.
We believe that the mission of the Church is to preach the Gospel and to make disciples for Christ. We believe that making disciples — in our congregations, in our communities and nations, and around the world — must be a priority of the Church in the present age.
We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the Church across time and space. We endorse the form and practices of the universal Church that are consistent with Scripture, particularly the office of the ministry and the tradition of worship under Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship with other Lutheran churches and with faithful Christians of other confessions.
We strive to be a church body that is organized to facilitate the ministries of local congregations in a posture of servanthood and a spirit of partnership, through the provision of resources, connections and information.
We have been asked what the process looks like to make this happen?
When a church make the disicion to change its national affiliation there is a great deal of work that goes into the process. Prayer is at the forefront of every effort. Then hard work. In this section you'll find the details and example of documents used by Holy Trinity in order to bring about an orderly transition.
