Welcome to Lutheran Church-Canada

Our Mission is to serve, strengthen, and equip congregations for bold, faithful, Christ-centred witness.

Our Vision is a unified, confessional body of believers fulfilling the Great Commission.

Truth

We value Scripture as the inerrant, written Word of God and the only rule and norm of faith and practice.

Grace

We value Grace as the free and undeserved gift of God through Christ Jesus which empowers believers to show forgiveness and mercy to others.

Unity

We value unity in doctrine, proclamation, and practice, as expressed in Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions.
