Download a PDF membership form for family and friends who do not have Internet access or for a handout at meetings.

Renewal groups who want to join may send a message to Rev. Paull Spring, Chair of the Steering Committee, requesting that they be admitted as a member. The message should include the names and contact information for the group's leaders and the group's website address if it has a site.

Congregations who join need to send a letter on their church letterhead signed by an officer or pastor with the date and means (congregational meeting or church council decision) of their affirmation of the Lutheran CORE Constitution and intention to support Lutheran CORE. The letter may be sent to either info@lutherancore.org or Lutheran CORE, 2299 Palmer Drive, Suite 220, New Brighton, MN 55112.

Lutheran individuals and congregations may join Lutheran CORE regardless of their church affiliations. Lutheran CORE is committed to serve both those individuals and congregations that choose to remain affiliated with the ELCA and the ELCIC and those that choose to affiliate with other Lutheran church bodies. Lutheran CORE will help Lutherans in North America focus on the main thing - proclaiming Jesus Christ and His Gospel and making disciples. This is one way to work together in mission and ministry with faithful Lutherans both inside and outside of the ELCA and the ELCIC.

We also ask that you support Lutheran CORE financially. You may make an online donation or checks may be sent to Lutheran CORE, 2299 Palmer Drive, Suite 220, New Brighton, MN 55112. Lutheran CORE is a religious, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation, and your contributions are fully tax-deductible. We will need significant funds as a community of confessing Lutherans and for the formation of the North American Lutheran Church in the reconfiguration of Lutheranism in North America.
