Lutheran churches follow the theological tradition of Martin Luther, emphasizing salvation by grace through faith and the authority of Scripture alone. Worship often combines traditional hymnody, liturgical readings, and the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion. The two largest U.S. Lutheran bodies — the ELCA and the LCMS — share confessional roots but differ on biblical interpretation, women's ordination, and ecumenical relationships.
