Lutheran Church of the Risen Lord is a member of Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). LCMC is an association of congregations that have a great respect for the reality that the church is where the people of God gather together around Word and Sacrament. The local congregation is where the church becomes a concrete reality for God's people.The LCMC Mission Statement (as stated on their official website):

“Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ is an association of congregations and individuals who are:

   * free in Christ;

   * accountable to one another;

   * rooted in the Scriptures and the Lutheran Confessions;

   * working together to fulfill Christ's Great Commission to go and make         disciples of all nations.”

   Congregations have significant latitude in ordering and shaping ministry in their local setting, and the LCMC has intentionally made joining and leaving the association simple. They have also agreed to a disciplinary process for addressing congregations whose actions violate their agreed-upon statements of faith and practice.
