Study of the Augsburg Confession

Fri, 09 Sep 2011 16:57:35 -0600

On June 25, 1530, several princes of Germany stood in front of Emperor Charles V in the imperial city of Augsburg. At great risk to their positions, property, and lives, they presented the Emperor with a Confession of Faith. In this confession, they presented the teachings of Scripture as they were believed, taught and confessed in their territories. Churches, pastors, and people who shared this confession later became known as "Lutheran." This confession became known as the Augsburg Confession. To this day, this statement of faith remains the chief confession of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. Therefore, it serves as the chief confession of Lutheran congregations, and people who call themselves Lutheran.

Beginning September 18th, we will study the Augsburg Confession in our Sunday morning Bible Class. Even if you do not currently attend Bible Class, please consider making plans to join us for this important study. If you have a copy of the Lutheran Confessions, you can bring it along with you. We will also have copies of the Augsburg Confession available for you at church.
