In August 2015, at the invitation of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC), the gathering of Lutheran church leaders and representatives of reform and renewal communities throughout the world convened, in conjunction with the NALC Lutheran Week in Dallas, TX.

    Lutheran CORE (Coalition for Reform) was added to Immanuel’s budget for 2008 to receive 1 percent of offerings. Lutheran CORE was working to uphold traditional teaching in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. Immanuel was now giving 13 percent of its undesignated offerings to mission beyond the congregation: 8 percent to undesignated synod mission support, 3 percent for designated for South Dakota ministries, 1 percent for companion synod ministries in Cameroon and Nicaragua and 1 percent for Lutheran CORE. The 2007 annual meeting approved repair of the west side of the church roof as well as the roofs of the parsonage and garage following a hail Stained glass window given in memory of Debra storm. The total cost was nearly Christensen (1956-2007). $7,500, most of which was covered by insurance. The congregation also approved a design for a stained glass window to be given by Dolly Rizzi of Spearfish in memory of her sister, Deb Christensen. Purchase of a new photocopier was also approved at a cost of roughly $2,500. We had five youth go to Outlaw Ranch and two youth go to Atlantic Mountain Ranch in 2008. In June of 2008, the church basement was flooded. “Church members responded well to the crisis, removing items from the basement and vacuuming up water. The water continued to fill the basement throughout the next week and members of Immanuel continued to work to remove the water while we all wondered what could be causing the water to enter the building. A week later we learned the cause of the water when the city discovered a broken water main just west of the building.

  • PMM 434: Ministry in a Pluralistic Context
    The Lutheran Family Lutherans exist all over the world and with its roughly 70-71 million members make up the largest community in Protestantism. That it assumed the name Lutheran after Martin Luther is by sheer historical coincidence. The papal bull of 1521excommunicated Luther and his adherents by calling them Lutherans and thereby stigmatize them as heretics and shismatics. Luther and his followers protested against the use of his name calling himself a ―miserable bag of worms and should not give his meaningless name to his children.‖ WA III,684-685. On another, less known, occasion Luther did call himself a name worth keeping if it meant thereby that one follows Christ. In fact during the first 50 years Lutherans were called Evangelicals or ―Reformed churches‖. That term because after 1580 then for the Calvinists whereas Lutherans were called Lutherans. Stations in Luther’s life may show some particular traits of Lutheranism vis-à-vis other positions. Here are a few examples: 1. How can I find a merciful God? That constituted a discovery of the Gospel versus egocentric or anthropocentric theology of the law and human righteousness and reestablished the theocentric or Christocentric message of Christ’s salvation. Many call this a Copernican revolution. Luther worked from a deep guilt consciousness, harassed by sin and finding a way to eradicate this guilt. 2. Luther crossed four stations to come to that conclusions: a. Occamism—after William of Occam who for one held that reason and revelation are both gifts from God and that reason could not appreciate the supranatural.

  • The North American Lutheran Church Lutheran CORE
    A Vision and Plan for The North American Lutheran Church and Lutheran CORE, a community of confessing Lutherans Christ-Centered Mission-Driven Traditionally-Grounded Congregationally-Focused Summary February 18, 2010 Commemoration of Dr. Martin Luther, Renewer of the Church, 1546 Dear Friends in Christ, We are living in an exciting time for confessing Lutherans in North America! Pastors and laypeople increasingly are engaged in the life of the Church beyond their congregations. Many are returning with new zeal to the true mission of the Church, the sharing of the Good News of Christ Jesus. Many are eager for new fellowships, new structures, and new ways of doing common ministry. And all this is happening in a society that has become once more a mission field, a culture desperately in need of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior. In September 2009, Lutheran CORE’s national convocation, meeting in Fishers, IN, committed us to pursue the “reconfiguration of North American Lutheranism,” by providing for the needs both of those who plan to leave and those who plan to remain within the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) and Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) in this season of challenge and opportunity. This document summarizes our vision and plan for pursuing these goals. Lutheran CORE affirms the faithful call of confessing Lutherans, some of whom will remain in the ELCA and ELCIC and some of whom are now called to different affiliations. We envision a reconfiguration that maintains the highest degree of ongoing unity and cooperation possible among those who leave and those who stay.

  • Brief History of Scriptural Authority Crisis in the ELCA: the Formation of Lutheran CORE and the North American Lutheran Church the Rev
    Brief History of Scriptural Authority Crisis in the ELCA: The Formation of Lutheran CORE and the North American Lutheran Church The Rev. Mark C. Chavez Director, Lutheran CORE The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) is deeply divided. Many believe that sexual issues have caused the division, especially the decisions of the 2009 ELCA churchwide assembly, but that perception is misleading. Disagreement on sexual issues is just one of many symptoms of a much deeper division and crisis in the ELCA. The division is centered on the crisis of the authority of God’s Word over all matters of faith and life, particularly the authority of Scripture – the Bible. The crisis is evident in many other Christian churches in North America. Even Christian churches who do uphold the authority of Scripture face a significant cultural challenge. The Barna Group reported in December 2009 that just thirty-four percent of adults in the United States believe that there are absolute moral truths. The denial of absolute truth directly contradicts the Biblical worldview. For 2,000 years nearly all Christians have believed that the Bible is God’s revelation of absolute truth. They have confessed that absolute truth is incarnate in God the Father’s only Son, Jesus Christ, who said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” (John 14:6, ESV). However, the underlying assumption in North American culture – especially at almost all colleges, universities and seminaries – is that there are no absolute truths, particularly moral truths. It is not just higher education that teaches and reinforces this worldview.
