Martin Luther Pilgrimage to Germany

Embark on a unique and inspiring journey through Germany as we trace the footsteps of Martin Luther and explore the heart of the Reformation. This is not a mission trip—it’s a pilgrimage designed to deepen your understanding of Lutheran history, theology, and the faith that transformed the Church and the world.

Our guide for this unforgettable experience will be Pastor Richard, who brings a wealth of insight and experience. Having lived in Germany, speaks fluent German, and possesses a deep knowledge of both history and theology, Pastor Richard will help bring the stories and sites of the Reformation to life in a meaningful way.

To prepare for the journey, participants will take part in a five-week course before departure. This class will explore key theological themes, historical context, and the people and places you’ll encounter, ensuring that each stop on the trip is rich with meaning and understanding.

Join us as we walk where Martin Luther walked, reflect on the roots of our faith, and gain a deeper appreciation for God’s work in history—and in our lives today.
