As a part of the Christian family, the Lutheran Church began with the Reformation movements in the 16th century. The three main themes of this movement were:We are put right with God solely by God's grace to us in Christ Jesus; We are saved solely by faith in Christ and not by any systems of religious rules or accumulation of good works; Scripture alone is the final authority and guide for our faith and life.

We seek to express with other Christian Churches the unity we have in Christ. We attempt to serve Christ by continuing to bring the Good News to all people everywhere and by responding in love to those in need within our community and around the world.

 The Lutheran Church of The Master is a Reconciling in Christ congregation.We affirm with the apostle Paul that in Christ "there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female" (Galatians 3:28). Christ has made us one.  We acknowledge this reconciliation extends also to those whose affectional orientation is toward a person of the same gender. The rainbow candles in the east transept are a gift from Lutherans Concerned and are a symbol of Lutheran Church of The Master's affirmation of welcome for gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people through the Reconciling in Christ program. All people are welcome at Lutheran Church of The Master and all Reconciling in Christ congregations.
