About us
The Luther Center (LC) is a Campus Ministry of the Lutheran Church (ELCA). If you’re Lutheran, cool. If not, cool. Here are a few things we believe:
-
We take Jesus seriously, and try to follow him…
(sometimes even successfully).
-
We take our faith seriously…
(and the questions, struggles, and doubts that go with it).
-
We take scripture seriously…
(though not always literally).
-
We take you seriously…
(because we care).
In short, we confess God as Creator, Jesus as Savior, and Holy Spirit as Sustainer, and we’re Lutheran, but also confess we don’t have all the answers. We’ll celebrate your faith with you, but we won’t hold your questions or doubts against you, either. To learn more about the ELCA, click here.
