Danish Lutheran Church

The Danish Lutheran Church is the national church of Denmark, rooted in the teachings of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation. It is a Christian denomination that emphasizes faith in Jesus Christ, the importance of scripture, and the community of believers. As a Lutheran church, it combines traditional liturgical practices with a focus on personal faith and grace. The church is state-supported, meaning it has a formal relationship with the Danish government, and most Danes are baptized and confirmed within it, although membership is voluntary. It plays a central role in Denmark’s cultural and spiritual life.
