What We Believe

Lutherans believe in the Triune God (the Holy Trinity), Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

We believe that the Bible is the word of God, and it is the only source of inspiration and teaching. God comes to us through hearing the word of God and through the means of grace – baptism and holy communion.

We believe that we are saved 'by grace, for Christ's sake, through faith'. In other words, there is nothing we can do to earn God's favour or to gain eternal life. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus Christ has won all this and more for us.

Lutherans worldwide also believe that the Lutheran Confessions, contained in the Book of Concord of 1580, are true expositions of the word of God. These documents are:

  • the three ecumenical creeds (confessed by Christians around the world): the Apostles' Creed, the Nicene Creed and the Athanasian Creed
  • the Augsburg Confession
  • the Apology of the Augsburg Confession
  • the Smalcald Articles
  • the Small Catechism of Luther
  • the Large Catechism of Luther
  • the Formula of Concord.
