The Concordia Lutheran Conference is not a church in the Scriptural meaning of that word but an organization of local churches bound together in true, God-pleasing fellowship based on unity of faith and confession (Amos 3:3; John 8:31-32; 17:21; I Corinthians 1:10; Ephesians 4:3). Besides the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments, our fellowship accepts all of the confessional writings comprising the Book of Concord of 1580 and the Brief Statement of 1932 (drawn up by the Missouri Synod in the long-gone days of its orthodoxy) as a further such correct exposition of Holy Scripture and an uncompromising basis in our time for God-pleasing union between us and other Lutherans. Further information is available on the Official Conference website (See "External Links" below.).
