Lutheran Student Fellowship

Lutheran Student Fellowship at San Francisco State University

Who are we?
The purpose of San Francisco’s Lutheran campus ministry is to enable college students in San Francisco to grow in Christ through service and love to all people in the power of the Gospel. The local chapter of Lutheran Student Fellowship (also a chapter of Christ on Campus) at San Francisco State University fosters spiritual growth, provides an opportunity for Christian fellowship, and serves the campus and local community around SFSU with a focus on outreach and loving service in response to God’s love and service to us in Christ.

What are Lutherans?
The Lutheran Church is church body reaching back to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century. We take our name from one of our founding leaders and a principle reformer of the Church: Martin Luther. His emphasis that God saves us by grace alone, through faith alone on account of Christ’s sacrificial death for the forgiveness of sins, is perhaps the most distinctive doctrine of the Lutheran Church. And while we confess this Reformation message, we do not hesitate to show our continuity with the Christian Church from all times and places.

Clinging to our Savior Jesus Christ, we receive His gifts of grace in Holy Baptism and His Body and Blood in the Lord’s Supper. Through these gifts we are strengthened in faith toward God and in love and service to our neighbor.
