About FLC
Welcome to Faith Lutheran Church of Pocatello, Idaho!
We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), joyfully proclaiming the saving Gospel of Jesus Christ here in southeastern Idaho since our establishment in 1957. What began as a mission outreach to serve the growing community has grown into a family of believers committed to standing firm on the unchanging truth of God's Word.
At Faith, we hold to the historic Lutheran Confessions as a true and faithful exposition of Holy Scripture. We confess that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—as taught in Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."
We gather to receive God's gifts through:
• The preaching of Christ crucified for the forgiveness of sins
• The administration of Holy Baptism and the Lord's Supper (where Christ's true body and blood are present "in, with, and under" the bread and wine for the strengthening of faith)
• Absolution spoken in Christ's stead and by His command
• The singing of hymns, prayers, and the liturgy that connect us to the ancient church!
So...
Whether you are a lifelong Lutheran, new to the faith, or simply seeking a place to hear the pure Gospel, you are warmly invited to join us. We are a gathering of forgiven sinners—imperfect people like you—who rejoice in the free gift of salvation won for us by our Lord Jesus on the cross. Here, we study the Bible together, celebrate God's forgiveness, and reach out to share His love with our neighbors in Pocatello and beyond.
We look forward to meeting you and worshiping the Triune God together!
