The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) is a Trinitarian and confessional church body centered on the cross and atonement of Jesus Christ, while finding great value in the church's liturgical life with its seasons, feast days, and commemorations. The Bible teaches as it reveals God and His will to humanity. The Scriptures teach us how to pray as well. The life of faith, then, is one of listening to the teachings of our Lord through the scriptures and then speaking to Him through our prayers.
