Hmm, I am not familiar with the LCMS, but I know that the church follows "Sola Scriptura", from checking the
LCMS website.
This is what I pulled off of the website. The church also follows Sola Fide (faith alone) and Sola Gratia (grace alone).

The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS) is considered an Evangelical denomination. The term "
Evangelical" (Merriam-Webster link) generally refers to Christian traditions that place a strong emphasis on the centrality of the Gospel message of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
The LCMS, like other Evangelical churches, holds to the authority and inspiration of the Bible as the Word of God, but its approach to interpreting Scripture may differ from other Evangelical denominations on certain issues. For example, while the LCMS affirms a high view of biblical inerrancy and infallibility, some of its teachings on certain biblical passages (such as the literal interpretation of certain Old Testament stories) may be seen as unconventional by some Evangelical churches. However, this does not detract from its status as an Evangelical denomination.
It is important to note that there are variations in beliefs and practices within any religious tradition, including the LCMS, and it is always best to consult the official teachings of the denomination or speak with its members for a more accurate understanding.
