The NALC is a fast-growing, Christian church in the Lutheran tradition, uniting Lutherans in congregations across North America. The NALC embodies the theological center of Lutheranism in North America and stands firmly within the global Lutheran mainstream.

We are a church family committed to the authority of the Bible as the inspired Word of God. In keeping with the Lutheran Confessions, we believe all doctrines should and must be judged by the teaching of Scripture.

The NALC has embraced four core values which shape our common life: Christ Centered, Mission Driven, Traditionally Grounded, and Congregationally Focused. We are a church centered on the unique Gospel of Jesus Christ, animated by missions and evangelism, grounded in the 2,000-year tradition of Christian faith, and organized chiefly to serve our congregations.

A renewed Lutheran community moving forward in faith, the NALC is focused on living out Christ’s Great Commission to go and make disciples in North America and around the globe. We invite you to learn more about our church family.

The mission of Sola Publishing is to provide individuals and congregations with educational resources that are trustworthy and useful, at a reasonable price. By providing solid Biblical resources, coming from a confessional Lutheran perspective, we seek to give all Christians a deeper appreciation for Holy Scripture with the distinctive focus on God's use of his Word to bring about repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

Sola is the Latin word for "alone"or "only." The name Sola comes from the great slogans of the Reformation:  Sola Gratia (grace alone), Sola Fide (faith alone), and Sola Scriptura (scripture/word alone). Using Sola as the name for our publishing ministry is meant to convey that we want to focus "only" on the essentials, by keeping Christ and his work at the center of all we do.

The Sola logo incorporates a tilted cross atop the right-most letter. It is meant to call to mind the image of the cross being carried, and Jesus' injunction to "take up your cross and follow me."  In this spirit, we hope to preach and teach from what Luther would call a "Theology of the Cross" — a realistic and down-to-earth faith that does not seek its own glory, but looks to Christ alone for life and salvation.
