about us
 The
Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod is a family of 2.6 million
Christians, gathered in more than 6,000 congregations throughout the
United States. Our church body was founded more than 150 years ago
by a small band of immigrants in America who were dedicated to
preaching and teaching the Gospel of the forgiveness of sins through
Christ alone. Many of the founders of our Synod were from Missouri,
hence the word "Missouri" ion our church's name.
Our congregations are united in an
association of Christian fellowship called a "Synod," which means
"walking together." Every congregation is self governed and unique.
We believe and teach the same Biblical truths, but our
congregations also reflect the diversity of the people we serve.
Some are located in rural areas, others in inner cities. Some are
large, others are very small. Most use English, but some offer
worship services in Vietnamese, Spanish, Laotian, and other
languages. We are a family gathered from all nations, united in the
wonderful truth that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world.
