Assessment
Our Savior Lutheran is an LCMS congregation in Lynchburg under Pastor Yaeger, holding to the Book of Concord. The LCMS is the confessional Lutheran body — male-only pastors, full subscription to the Lutheran Confessions, traditional Divine Service liturgy. Solid confessional Lutheran option for the Lynchburg area.
