The church was organised in 1974 when Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod's pastor Siegbert Becker was called to teach to Stiftelsen Biblicum. The church works in both Sweden and Norway.[2] In Sweden its official magazine is Bibel och bekännelse, which appears five times each year.[3] Its Norwegian version, Bibel og Bekjennelse, appears four times per year.[4]
The LBK is a member of the international Confessional Evangelical Lutheran Conference.[5]
