Born out of the 16th-century Reformation, Lutheranism holds that the Bible is the sole authority for Christian doctrine. Lutheran worship often combines traditional hymns, liturgical readings, and the sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, creating a reverent yet welcoming atmosphere for seekers and long-time members alike.
The two largest Lutheran bodies in the United States — the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) — share Lutheran confessional roots but differ significantly on biblical interpretation, the ordination of women, ecumenical relationships, and questions of human sexuality. The ELCA is the larger and more theologically progressive body; the LCMS is more confessionally conservative and practices close communion, offering the Lord's Supper to those in confessional unity with the church. Together they represent approximately 4.5 million Lutherans in the United States, though both bodies have seen sustained membership decline over the past two decades.

Common Questions About Lutheran Churches
- What is the difference between ELCA and LCMS Lutheran churches?
- Both the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) hold to the Lutheran confessions — justification by grace through faith, the sacraments as genuine means of grace, and the authority of Scripture. Where they differ is significant: the ELCA is the more theologically progressive body, ordaining women and LGBTQ+ individuals, practicing open communion, and maintaining full communion with the Episcopal Church and PCUSA. The LCMS holds to biblical inerrancy, practices close communion (offering the Lord's Supper only to those in doctrinal agreement with the Synod), and does not ordain women to the pastoral office.
- What is 'close communion' in Lutheran churches?
- Close communion (sometimes called 'closed communion') means that the Lord's Supper is offered only to those who share the same confessional and ecclesial standing as the congregation — typically fellow LCMS Lutherans who have received instruction and are in good standing. The ELCA practices an open table, welcoming all baptized Christians. If you're visiting a Lutheran church and are unsure of their practice, it's courteous to ask before coming forward for Communion.
- Do Lutheran churches baptize infants?
- Yes. Both ELCA and LCMS Lutheran churches practice infant baptism, understanding it as a means of grace by which God works faith and grants regeneration to the baptized. This distinguishes Lutheranism from Baptist and most non-denominational traditions, which reserve baptism for professing believers. Lutheran confirmation — typically in middle or high school — is not a 'completion' of baptism but an affirmation of the baptismal covenant made on the child's behalf.
