The AALC & LC-MS Formal Agreements
Praising God for the cordial relationship that has developed between The American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC) and The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LC-MS)…
The AALC and The LC-MS have joyfully decided as two independent church bodies to enter into a partner church relationship recognizing each other as separate but interdependent church bodies in Christ. We gratefully acknowledge that this partnership is based on our common public confession of the Gospel of Jesus Christ as taught in the Holy Scriptures and confessed in The Book of Concord. Each of our churches confesses an unconditional commitment to the Holy Scriptures as the inspired, infallible and inerrant Word of God and to the confessional writings of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in The Book of Concord as a correct exposition of the Word of God.
