LWF Mission Statement
Doctrinal Basis
The LWF confesses the
Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be the only
source and norm of its doctrine, life and service. It sees in
the three Ecumenical Creeds and in the Confessions of the
Lutheran Church, especially in the unaltered Augsburg Confession
and the Small Catechism of Martin Luther, a pure exposition of
the Word of God.
LWF member churches confess the
triune God, agree in the proclamation of the Word of God, and
are united in pulpit and altar fellowship. The LWF confesses
one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church and is resolved to
serve Christian unity throughout the world. It acts on behalf of
its member churches in areas of common interest such as
communication, ecumenical relations, human rights, humanitarian
assistance, theology and the various aspects of mission and
development.
