Apostolic Lutheran Church

The Apostolic Lutheran Church is a Christian denomination with roots in the Finnish and Scandinavian immigrant communities in the United States. It emphasizes the teachings of the Bible, the importance of personal faith, and the significance of grace and salvation through Jesus Christ. The church values traditional worship and often practices a congregational form of governance, meaning each local congregation has autonomy. It is distinct from other Lutheran groups, focusing more on personal spirituality and community life than on strict doctrinal differences. The church promotes a close-knit community, often providing support and fellowship among its members.
