Our Core Values

The mission of Lutheran Bible Translators is to help bring people to faith in Jesus Christ by making the Word of God available to those who do not yet have it in the language of their hearts.

God's Word

We are committed to the Word of God in its incarnate, proclaimed and Scriptural forms.

Innovation

We affirm that our misson is most effectively accomplished through creative and discovery-oriented strategies. Innovation and creativity are permitted and encouraged.

Professional

We strive for uncompromised excellence, disciplined and rigorous approaches to the challenges we encounter in a framework that includes evaluation.

Dialog

We are committed to authentic relationships with other Bible agencies, national church organizations and local language communities that exhibit mutual accountability, transparency, collaboration, and interdependency in a spirit that is both respectful and compassionate.

Contextualization

We are committed to expressions of the Holy Scriptures in incarnational and relevant ways that neither compromise the Gospel nor the people of the host culture.
