By Tracie Knight


The religion of Christianity has changed with the times. This in turn has led to the rise of many churches that worship the same God but have different ways of worshiping. One of the oldest churches that is the Lutheran Church Scottsdale AZ believes that God, who is the most high, knows how everyone will end up whether heaven or hell and therefore no person can be able to control where they end up.

The church is open to all people who believe in its teachings and have faith in it leadership. The church boasts of many branches within the city that offer similar teachings. These branches include the Beautiful Savior Lutheran worship center, the Trinity center, the St. Luke center, Epiphany center, Shepherd of the desert, Holy Cross, the Desert Foothills among many others.

Before you decide to become a member of any denomination, it is always wise to understand the culture and styles of worship that are practiced there. If the culture and practices conform to your spiritual belief, then you have the green light to become an active member of that denomination. Failing to do so may often lead you to practicing faith and believe that may cause regrets to your life as the teaching may be contrary to your belief and upbringing. It is therefore very prudent to conduct a rigorous research before settling on a denomination to follow.

This particular denomination traces its origin from the late Martin Luther King, who broke ranks with the catholic denomination. This was after it was evident that the catholic denomination was giving out tickets to heaven and went ahead to allow only people that had a good command of the Latin language to practice the priesthood.

When many people realized they are not in a position to believe and start in Catholicism. They formed their own churches and called it Lutherism. It was a breakaway denomination, but there are others who followed. Luther was not the founder, but he inspired the growth and the beginning. Thus to honor his sacrifice, people named the denomination after his name.

People willingly follow this denomination because of their practicability in their fellowship. Although most of what they practice is similar to many other denominations but theirs is more practical. This is demonstrated through the ceremonies carried when there is birth or death of one of their own. In addition, they are not ashamed to openly worship God a practice named liturgy.

In their services, the members are usually encouraged to go out to the mission field. Though other denominations also go for missions but for the Lutheran Church missions are their core activity. This is because they believe that through mission work they are able to spread the word of God. To them the act of baptism is a belief that their faith has been renewed and therefore both kids and adults should be baptized when they reach a certain age

To this denomination, education is always close to their heart and as such they establish Sunday schools where little children are give insights about biblical teachings. Moreover, they have gone ahead to establish faith-based institution of learning such as elementary schools and high schools and even universities. Through this initiative, the denomination is able to spread its influence to many people since this institution offer a good environment to practice their faith.
