Lutheran liturgy

Lutheran liturgy is the structured order of worship used in Lutheran churches, combining scripture reading, hymns, prayers, and a sermon to nurture faith and community. It often follows a pattern rooted in historic traditions, emphasizing both reverence and active participation. Central elements include the reading of Scripture, the congregation’s response, the offering, and receiving Communion. The liturgy aims to glorify God, teach biblical truths, and encourage spiritual growth, creating a meaningful and familiar worship experience that connects believers to biblical history and Lutheran theology.
