The Lutheran Church was the first church to grow out of the Reformation movement.

Lutheran churches profess that the Holy Scriptures are the source and norm of their doctrine and life.

Lutheran services vary across different cultures and countries.

There is no single pattern of organisation amongst Lutheran churches, as no particular organisational structure is regarded by Lutherans as essential for the life of the Church.

The 'Luther Rose' has become a symbol of the Lutheran Church, familiar to Lutherans throughout the world.

2017 was the 500th anniversary of Martin Luther posting his 95 theses on the door of the castle chapel in the German town of Wittenberg – an event that has become known as the starting point of the Reformation.
