We Are : Lutheran Christians Lutherans are a reforming movement within the Western Church whose roots trace back to the early Church and through the Reformation movement of the sixteenth century. We believe that the center of the Good News about God is that God has come to this world in Jesus and, through his life, death and resurrection, all people are given new life and are called to live in that new life of grace in and for this world. We believe that Gods love for the world is so great that we cannot earn it;we are loved by God freely and called into new life.
