Why This Site Exists

The Lutheran Confession covers the confessional documents of the Lutheran Church — including the Augsburg Confession, Luther's Catechisms, and the Formula of Concord — collected in the Book of Concord (1580).

The Heavenly Network, in partnership with The Christian Chain, has developed this network of Church Creed and Confession sites in order to make the historic faith of the Church clearly explained, faithfully presented, and freely accessible to every believer, student, and seeker who wants to understand what the whole Church has always believed together.

"There is one body and one Spirit — just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all."
