Our Mission

Lutheran Mission - Australia seeks to support, encourage and strengthen Confessional Lutherans around Australia. We are excited to join you in reaching out with the unadulterated gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ and see Him build His church as we uphold the Holy Scriptures as the divinely inspired, inerrant Word of God and proclaim the whole counsel of God for the salvation of many.

We are planning to establish congregations wherever possible and welcome enquiries from existing congregations to join us. We are committed to continuing 'to contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints' (Jude 3). Lutheran Mission - Australia has been established to ensure Confessional Lutheranism has a home in Australia for generations to come.

Our Confession

Lutheran Mission – Australia accepts without reservation the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, as a whole and in all their parts, as the divinely inspired, written and inerrant Word of God, and as the only infallible source and norm for all matters of faith; acknowledges and accepts as true expositions of the Word of God and as its own confession all the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church contained in the Book of Concord of 1580; and continues to hold to the Theses of Agreement of 1965.

Learning from Anger
Learning from Anger

Like guilt, the presence or absence of anger is an important index of spiritual health. While guilt has to do with the evil we do against others, anger is aroused by the evil which is done to us. While unforgiven guilt undermines our faith in Christ and our assurance of salvation, unforgiving anger destroys love and disrupts the flow of divine life in a Christian community. Both open our hearts to the attacks of the devil.

In an article was first published on Logia Forum 33:2 (Epiphany 2024), John W. Kleinig challenges Christians to learn from their anger and deal with it in a God-honouring way.

Is it important to uphold true doctrine?

Drawing on the work of theologian Hemann Sasse and Timothy Wengert's A Formula for Parish Practice, Merv Wagner reflects on the great ages of the church as times when people had to contend against false teaching and clearly confess true doctrine for salvation's sake.

Women’s Ordination through the Lens of the Apostles’ Creed

This series of essays examines the question of women’s ordination from the perspective of the Christian confession of faith, especially as it pertains to the Apostles’ Creed. It grew out of a theological dialogue between the Lutheran Church in Korea (LCK) and The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS) in January 2023 and is now being made available for further study and discussion, with thanks to the LCMS.

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.
