Lutheranism originated in Germany in the 16th century as a reform movement within the Catholic Church led by Martin Luther. Luther challenged practices that he believed did not align with biblical teachings, emphasizing that salvation comes through God's grace alone, received through faith. The Lutheran Reformation quickly spread throughout Europe, and today there are approximately 75 million Lutherans worldwide. In the United States, Lutherans have a long history, and Faith Lutheran Church is part of the ELCA, one of the three major Lutheran Church bodies in the country. The church is committed to serving and proclaiming the truth of God's love, mercy, and forgiveness.
