About Us
We are a family-friendly congregation of God’s people in Burlington, NC. We are in fellowship with the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.
We believe and teach God’s infallible Word, and how sinners are brought to God and His love by that Word. Our teachings are in accord with the Lutheran Book of Concord.

What We Believe
Glad you asked! The short answer is that we believe the Bible. Everything we do and teach is subject to the Scriptures and is bound by them. We unqualifiedly confess that the Lutheran confessions found in the Lutheran Book of Concord are a correct and valid exposition of the teachings of the Scriptures.
“Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” – our Redeemer banner
Our worship is a traditional service of the preaching of God’s Word and receiving Christ’s gift of His Body and Blood in the Lord’s Supper. While some of the minor details have been tweaked over the centuries, our worship is essentially what you would have found in Christ’s church from the very beginning. We are receivers of that gift, and one of our jobs is to pass that gift along to the generations that come after us.
Helpful Resources
What About the Kids?
Your children – no matter what age – are always welcome both to Sunday School and, even more important, in worship. Most children are surprisingly adaptable, and when they’re with their parents in worship, they learn how to hear God’s Word. We have a special children’s message as well.
And if your little one starts crying? It happens. That child is welcome to remain. If you want to take the little one out for a few minutes, that’s fine too. The bottom line is that we welcome all children, all ages. Jesus said (Matthew 19:14) to let the little children come to Him. We hope that we, too, can embody that welcome.
I’m a Visitor…
First, we’re glad to have you! You are seriously welcome. At the same time, no one is going to pounce. We’ll welcome you and answer any questions you may have, but no one’s going to try to get you to sign up or anything like that. And no one expects you to give money unless you want to. Just consider yourself our guest.
If you are from another church tradition, you might find our services a little puzzling. We stand and kneel a lot, and we follow an order of service (“a liturgy”) that you may be unfamiliar with. Feel free to ask the pastor before or after the service. If you’re in the middle of the service and unsure about something, one of the folks around you can probably guide you. You are not required to participate in anything you’re not comfortable with.
Our Pastor
Our pastor is the Rev. Dr. Charles Spomer. A graduate of Concordia Theological Seminary in St. Louis, MO, he and his wife live here in Burlington.
Fellowship
We have both a men’s and women’s fellowship group. Both groups meet monthly for fellowship and service to our congregation and community.
