Letter From the President

We subscribe to the Confessions because they are a faithful exposition of God’s Word, not just insofar as they contain the Word of God.

Sound, pure, biblical doctrine is always aimed at the repentance and forgiveness and strengthening of poor sinners like you and me.

The fact that the LCMS is still here confessing the inerrant Scriptures is due in large part to our Lord’s mercy in preserving our schools.
