The Augustana Ministerium has as its stated purpose the support and promotion of a truly Lutheran ministerium. Therefore we see our primary duty as being the support of Confessional Lutheran pastors either with our prayers, our presence, or financial assistance. By these means we our aim is to make it possible for men to stay where God has called them so that they might serve God's people without having to worry quite so much about how they are going to be able to financially carry out their other vocation of husband or father.

Here you can find mail lists and other good information about Confessional Lutheranism.

This is an amazing site for young and old alike. Higher Things publishes a magazine, has daily devotions, and sponsors Youth Conferences every year for the purpose of promoting Confessional, Liturgical practices among the Youth of our church body.

The Webmaster of this site writes: "The purpose of this site is to promote, extend, and defend the theology of Confessional Lutheranism, as reflected especially in the Symbolical Books of the Evangelical Lutheran Church. I am persuaded that this theology is thoroughly apostolic, catholic, orthodox, and evangelical -- in the truest and deepest sense of those terms."

Confessional Lutherans are Evangelical Catholics... It is not we who call ourselves Lutherans. Rather, our adversaries call us that. We allow this to the extent that this title is an indication of the consensus that our churches have with the orthodox and catholic doctrine that Luther set forth from Holy Writ. Therefore we allow ourselves to be named after Luther, not as the inventor of a new faith but as the asserter of the old faith and the cleanser of the church from the stains of Papist dogmas. Consequently, we also do not reject the names “Christian” and “catholic,” nor do we render ourselves unworthy of them by the approval of any heretical dogma, as did the Arians, Nestorians, Eutychians, etc. Rather, we are called “Christians” from Christ as the only Author and Teacher of our faith. We are called “catholics” from our consensus with the catholic faith. We are called “Lutherans” from Luther as the asserter and defender of that faith, but especially as the reformer whom God raised up. + Johann Gerhard, On the Church (Theological Commonplace XXV), § 156.
