The North American Lutheran Church was formed in 2010 by Christians seeking to remain deeply rooted in the truth of the Bible and the mission of Jesus Christ. We hold to the historic teachings of the Church, guided by the Lutheran Confessions, and shaped by four core values: we are a Christ-Centered, Mission-Driven, Traditionally Grounded, and Congregationally Focused community of believers committed to making disciples and living out the Gospel together.
A season of growth in the Spirit as the Church lives out Christ’s mission in the world.

Here’s how the NALC helps congregations step into their mission calling:

Here’s the latest around the NALC:
This year’s devotional—The Unshaken Light—traces the movement of grace from Advent to Epiphany: from waiting in hope, to rejoicing in God with us, to bearing His Light into the world. It begins in the shadows of a trembling world and leads us to the radiance of Christ’s coming—first in the manger and again in glory. Through Scripture and reflection, we are invited to behold the steadfast promise that the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
At the 2025 Mission Convocation in Pittsburgh, the North American Lutheran Church unveiled a renewed vision for our shared life together: to be a disciple-making church. This vision comes to life as congregations are renewed in faith, disciples are equipped to follow Jesus with confidence, and communities are transformed by the power of the Gospel. From local ministries and global partnerships to life-to-life discipleship in homes, schools, and workplaces, we are answering Christ’s call to love God, love our neighbors, and make disciples of all nations.
The Clergy Retreat is a yearly gathering designed for pastors, deacons, seminarians, and those serving in ministry within the North American Lutheran Church. It provides a dedicated time away from daily responsibilities to rest, worship, and be renewed in the company of fellow servants of the Gospel.
Every NALC congregation is asked to review, meet, and submit their vote on the constitutional amendments approved at the 2025 Mission Convocation. For all details and resources regarding these amendments, click the button below.
We have released our next two-year daily prayer and reading calendar, Devoted to Prayer. This guide is to provide the average layperson and pastor with the simple tools for sorting through the busyness of their lives and reclaiming an act of daily discipleship with their Lord. The daily readings follow the Lutheran Book of Worship two-year daily lectionary, which reflect the church calendar closely.
You don’t need to start big. Just start faithful.
