A History of the AFLC
“The title, From Freedom to Life, was chosen to express the conviction of our founders that polity or denominational structure is never an end in itself but a context in which true spiritual life might abound. My hope is that your reading of this book will not only supply the story of the birth and growth of a small Lutheran denomination. A greater goal is that you might catch the vision that captured me as a teenager, of a unique fellowship bound together not by organization but by Spirit-led commitment to the task of building and nourishing free and living Lutheran congregations.”
Former AFLC President Pastor Robert L. Lee recently completed a history of our association, From Freedom to Life. Order it today through our bookstore!

Ten Commandments Curriculum
Jesus A-Z
Jesus A-Z and its accompanying coloring book journey through all the letters of the alphabet, connecting each letter to Jesus in Scripture through vivid illustrations and descriptive names such as Bread of Life, Prince of Peace, and Light of the World.
The Gospel in the Congregation
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.
1 Peter Bible Study
The saying goes, “Hope springs eternal.” But depending on what hope is based on or in, hope may be “iffy” at best and downright hopeless at worst. Only hope based in God’s Word is sure and certain. First Peter was written to remind us of this truth and to center our hope in God’s Word. Then, no matter what trials we may face, hope will keep us encouraged.
