Links Worth Checking Out
On this page we have provided links to a variety of sites and services. Some will take you to relatively familiar ground—the sites of other LCMS campus ministries, Concordia seminaries, the Concordia University System, programs for Lutheran youth and young adults, and so on.
But not all fall within the Lutheran comfort zone; we offer these to challenge and stretch your way of thinking about faith and about the larger body of Christ—the church—around the world. You might not agree with everything you find on some of these sites (we don't either); whenever you come across something like that, we encourage you to dig deep into God's Word and affirm why you believe what you do. Want to discuss? Post a topic to our forum; or send us the topic via the form below, and we'll include it as an anonymous post to our blog.
Do you know of sites a young Christian can visit for a spiritual workout? Use the form below to suggest it to us; we'll give it a look, and if it suits the purpose of this page, we'll add it.
