Private Absolution and Confession

Offered by appointment with the Pastor.

If you have questions about this practice, we kindly suggest that you please reference the Book of Concord, especially the Small Catechism on Confession, the Augsburg Confession Articles 11 and 25, and the Smalcald Articles Part 3 Article 8. The manner and theology in which we practice this as Lutherans is very distinct and different than the Roman Catholic Church. Never is private confession a matter of coercion or obligation.
