The Gospel in the Congregation: A Study of the AFLC Fundamental Principles


Have you ever wondered why our AFLC is so focused on the congregation? Or why our congregations are so mission-minded? Or even why we are a fellowship of Lutheran congregations with no bishops, synods, or human authorities over us? These and many other questions will be answered in this biblically based study, The Gospel in the Congregation: A Study of the AFLC Fundamental Principles. 

Order your own copy here.


“To understand the AFLC, one must understand the guiding principles that have been at the heart of who we are as a collection of churches that joined together in 1962. The Fundamental Principles have been a worthy guide to the AFLC and to its predecessor, the Lutheran Free Church. This study will help church councils and congregations understand who we have been, who we are, and ultimately who we should be as Free Lutheran congregations.”
— Dr. James Molstre
Dean, Free Lutheran Seminary

“The congregation is the means that God uses to reach a lost and dying world. Georg Sverdrup recaptured the biblical understanding of the New Testament congregation. This study serves as a practical guide for applying the Gospel to the congregation, the Bride of Christ—to free her and give her life.”
— Rev. John Lee
AFLC Missionary, Campo Maurão, Brazil

“When our Pastor suggested studying the twelve Fundamental Principles, I wasn’t too enthusiastic. I must admit, I was wrong. For me, studying these Fundamental Principles, being deeply and firmly rooted in the Word of God, has been an enriching and edifying experience. Basically, it has taught me what it means to be part of the body of believers in Jesus Christ—very enlightening.”
— Mrs. Kathy Vieselmeyer
AFLC Member, Deshler, Nebraska

Luther for the Busy Man breaks up Luther’s commentary on the standard Gospel texts into manageable daily content, organized according to the Church Year. It is our prayer that readers will become enthralled with Luther’s wise interaction with, and passionate application of, the biblical texts. Some will meet the Reformer for the first time, with others gaining a deeper appreciation for Luther’s ethos. Each one will receive daily nourishment through reminders of justification through faith in Christ and all of its implications for life.

Sign up for a free daily devotional delivered through email and/or text notification. Click the button above to subscribe! You can also listen to a daily podcast reading on the LFTBM website here. Both the softcover and the hardcover are available and can be ordered here.

LFTBM is a new project brought to you by the Free Lutheran Bible College and Seminary in cooperation with Ambassador Publications.


Heritage Series Volume V Now Available!


Volume V of the AFLC Heritage Series includes selected writings of the late Dr. Francis W. Monseth, longtime dean of the Free Lutheran Seminary. The title One Thing I Seek is based on Psalm 27:4, which was Dr. Monseth’s confirmation verse that guided him throughout his life. We give thanks to God for his life of service at the Free Lutheran Bible School and Seminary and are excited to share this collection with the people of the AFLC and beyond.

One Thing I Seek can be purchased here.

Many churches are considering how to effectively provide Christian education while still dealing with COVID challenges.

Are you exploring an intergenerational or home option with one theme or focus for all?

How about studying the Ten Commandments or the Lord’s Prayer or the Apostles’ Creed this year using mid-level curriculum for children, along with Luther’s Large Catechism with Study Questions or Luther’s Small Catechism in Illustration Study Guide for youth and adults.
