Grow Your Faith. Engage Your Mind. Connect with Community.
The LCC Book Club meets once every month for about an hour and a half. The meetings are always held at a member’s house, and we use our time to eat, drink, talk, laugh, and share with others how aspects of this book apply to our lives. We believe that good literature—whether fiction, theology, history, or memoir—offers a beautiful lens through which to explore the world, our faith, and the complexities of the human condition.
We aren’t just reading books; we are seeking truth, wrestling with ideas, and strengthening our bonds as brothers and sisters in Christ. All are welcome, whether you’re a lifelong Lutheran, a curious seeker, or just looking for a thoughtful book discussion group!
In the Lutheran tradition, we highly value both the Word of God and the pursuit of knowledge and reason. Our book club is a reflection of this heritage. We choose books that:
-
Explore Ethical and Moral Themes: Discussing how Christian ethics intersect with the world.
-
Deepen Theological Understanding: Sometimes directly, by reading classic or contemporary Christian texts; sometimes indirectly, by examining faith through a secular narrative.
-
Celebrate Human Experience: Recognizing that God’s creation is beautiful and complex, and that good stories reflect God’s truth, beauty, and grace.
-
Foster Humble Dialogue: Following Martin Luther’s call for civil and honest debate, grounded in Christian love.
-
JUST PLAIN FUN: It’s not always about religion, if we find a book that everyone wants to read – we do just that and enjoy each other’s company while discussing it.
