Request To Leave Denied St. Peter Lutheran Church!-Florida

 The St. Peter Lutheran Church in Fort Pierce, Florida, has been denied its’ request to leave The Evangelical Lutheran Church of America. The ELCA feels the potential for mission would be affected if they let them go.  The Rev. Ted Rice, pastor of the local congregation, said the synod council’s decision to reject their request for dismissal shows desperation on the part of ELCA leaders

Despite the disapproval, St. Peter Lutheran Church has moved on to join a different group – Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ. LCMC is an association that was founded in 2001 by Lutherans who were discontent with the liberal direction of the ELCA on the Bible and homosexual relationships. I say, good move St. Peter Lutheran Church!
