Welcome

Welcome to the Lutheran Church in Great Britain, celebrating our 50th Anniversary this year.

We are a growing church, with people from all parts of the world worshipping in our congregations. We welcome in our midst all those who want to explore their faith and find a worshipping community. As Lutherans we believe that we are saved by the grace of God and invited to gather around the Word of God and the Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion.

Synod 2012 date and venue is announced - please see the Synod page for full details.

Some facts about Lutherans:

there are over 70 million of us worldwide
about 200,000 of those live in the United Kingdom
there are Lutheran churches in Europe (particularly Germany, Scandinavia and the Baltic countries), North and South America, Australia, Asia and Africa
we are named after Martin Luther, the great German reformer of the mediaeval church

The following download (January 2010) provides an overview of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain.

The LCiGB was accepted as having observer status in the Porvoo Communion in October 2010. We rejoice in the opportunities for extended ecumenical co-operation and joint worship and service that this will mean for our church.

We would be delighted to welcome you at one of our services - but as times and venues can be subject to change, please use the contact details provided to confirm that no last minute changes have been made before travelling a long distance.
