About
Union Lutheran Church, founded in 1774, is a congregation of the North American Lutheran Church (NALC).
We are located a few miles east of Salisbury, North Carolina on Bringle Ferry Road, near Dan Nicholas Park and High Rock Lake.
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:18-20
Christ-Centered
We confess the apostolic faith in Jesus Christ according to the Holy Scriptures. We affirm the authority of Scripture as the final source and norm for faith and life—“according to which all doctrines should and must be judged” (Formula of Concord). We accept the ecumenical creeds and the Lutheran Confessions as true and faithful witnesses to the Word of God.
Mission Driven
We believe that the Church’s mission is to proclaim the Gospel and to make disciples for Christ. Making disciples—in our congregations, in our communities and nations, and around the world—is the Church’s joyful calling and urgent priority.
Traditionally Grounded
We affirm the ecumenical creeds and the faithful witness of the Church across time and space. We embrace the historic forms and practices of the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church that are consistent with Scripture— especially the ministry of Word and Sacrament. We seek dialogue and fellowship with other Lutheran churches and with all faithful Christians.
Congregationally Focused
We strive to be a church body organized to support the ministries of local congregations in a posture of servanthood and a spirit of partnership—providing resources, relationships, and shared wisdom for faithful mission.
