The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod
The Lutheran Church—Missouri
Synod gets its name from Martin Luther, the leader of the Protestant reformation in the 16th century,
and from the state of Missouri where our Synod began in 1839. The word "synod" comes from Greek
and Latin words meaning "walking together" and refers to the unity we have in our church and
Biblical teachings. The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod consists of 2.5 million members in 6150
congregations involved in a world-wide ministry. Being "Lutheran,"
our congregations accept and teach Bible-based teachings of
Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian church in the 16th century. The teaching of
Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three short phrases: Grace alone, Faith alone, Scripture alone.
