The Trinity

The Trinity defines God as one essence in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. United in nature yet distinct in personhood, it reveals God’s eternal unity and relational nature, with the Holy Spirit signifying peace, sanctification, and divine presence.

The Triple Solas

Martin Luther’s theology, central to the Reformation, rests on three pillars: Grace Alone, emphasizing salvation as God’s gift; Faith Alone, trusting Christ’s redemptive work; and Scripture Alone, affirming the Bible as the ultimate authority in faith and practice.

The Easter Season

The Easter is a radiant celebration of Christ’s victory over death, marking His glorious resurrection. It is a time of renewal, hope, and unshakable faith, reminding us that light triumphs over darkness.

PASTOR'S MESSAGE

Every time I think of you, I give thanks to my God. Whenever I pray, I make my requests for all of you with joy, for you have been my partners in spreading the Good News about Christ from the time you first heard it until now. And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns". Philippians 1:3-6

            Dear Office Bearers, Elders, and Loving Congregation,

            Greetings in the name of our King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is 100 years old, and
            I am humbled and blessed to be celebrating my own 50th year alongside this historic milestone! It is with profound gratitude and
            immense joy that I join you today to mark this momentous occasion—a century of experiencing God’s love, grace, mercy, and faithfulness
            in the life of our congregation.

            In my pastoral ministry, this is my second blessing and privilege of serving a centenary church. First, I was honored to serve at
            Our Saviour Lutheran Church, KGF, and now, as the pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Ayanavaram, Chennai, I am overwhelmed
            with happiness and thankfulness to celebrate and serve this congregation during its centenary year.
