Pinewood is a confessional Lutheran church of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS), that subscribes to the Book of Concord of 1580. But having said all that, it is a group of Christian believers in the Boston area who love one another, and who anticipate together Christ’s return in glory. The Bible is our source of doctrine and practice. We worship and fellowship together. We care for one another’s needs. We concern ourselves with the physical and spiritual needs of our community. Since 1884, the congregation known more recently (since 1976) as Pinewood Lutheran Church bears witness to Jesus Christ as true God Who also has assumed humanity to make payment for sins, and to bring reconciliation between us and God. Forgiveness and eternal life are to be found in Him alone.
