From the CLB Statement of Faith flows another one, a Statement of Core Values. In it we state our passions and our desires. As the Statement of Faith declares our core beliefs, our Statement of Core Values explains how we desire to live out our faith.

Statement on Sexuality
We, the Church of the Lutheran Brethren, affirm that standards of sexual morality must be consistent with Biblical principles. We deny that unscriptural standards may be accepted by the church simply because they have been accepted by society.

Statement on Missional Theology
The 2008 Church of the Lutheran Brethren Annual Convention passed a motion that called for the formation of a Study Committee on Missional Theology which would draft an exegetical paper (and/or a position paper that is exegetically anchored) delineating the implications of these teachings for faith and life, which was to be considered by the 2009 Annual Convention of the Church of the Lutheran Brethren. The President’s office selected seven individuals to serve in this task and the committee launched a working strategy which included a preliminary list of readings essential to understanding the primary and foundational teachings of missional theology, out of which committee members identified terms and concepts that were essential to the study, and constructed a topical framework for writing the paper. The paper was distributed to our congregations on May 17th, 2010, and a month later the 2010 convention voted to adopt the Statement with several amendments.
