Based on information we have added the following to this list:
St. John Lutheran Church, Thrall, TX** passed its second vote.
Trinity Lutheran Church, Pell Lake, WI passed its second vote.
Living Word Lutheran Church, Lantana, FL passed its second vote. (not previously listed)

The congregations listed below represent a net loss of baptized members for the ELCA of at least 254,018 since August 2009. Add to this number the membership of approximately 35 churches missing from our list, the tens of thousands who left to start new congregations, and the multiplied thousands who have left the ELCA on their own, and the numbers are staggering.

AWM’s list as of January 20, 2011 shows 368 congregations that successfully have taken the second vote to leave the ELCA, as well as 103 congregations that have successfully taken the first vote and now await taking the second vote.

Please note: Due to space limitations, we are able to list only one affilliation following the name of the congregation. If another affilliation is preferred, let us know.

AALC - The American Association of Lutheran Churches;
AFLC - Association of Free Lutheran Congregations;
CLB - Church of the Lutheran Brethren;
ELCM - Evangelical Lutheran Conference and Ministerium;
FELC - Fellowship of Evangelical Lutheran Churches;
LC-I - Lutheran Church-International;
LCMC - Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ;
LC-MS - Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod;
NALC - North American Lutheran Church

At this point our list lacks the names of around 40 congregatons that have taken their first and/or second vote. If you know of congregations not listed here, please advise us at:

FOUR PASTORS SUE ELCA OVER ANNUITY CUTS


"The payments for retired employees "have really impacted people," said Vincent Escades, a Minneapolis attorney representing the pastors in their lawsuit. "They didn't live off much to start with in their positions. They lived pretty modest lifestyles."
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit are the Rev. Benjamin A. Johnson, Dr. Ronald A. Lundeen, the Rev. Larry D. Cartford and the Rev. Arthur F. Haimerl.

"It really matters to people who are living on fixed incomes," Escades said.

UPDATED LIST OF MISSION CONGREGATIONS STARTED BY ELCA MEMBERS


We have been asked to formulate a list of mission congregations started by ELCA members. The list below represents a start on this project. Formulating this list will be a big task, and we will need your help to make this list effective.
Many ELCA people are looking for a church that upholds the Word of God. This list is intended to aid them.

We list these mission congregations by state. Most of the congregations listed are new start-ups. To submit additional information or corrections to our list or to submit the name of a mission congregation to be added to this list, contact us at wordabide@aol.com. We would like to include the following information: the name of the mission congregation, address where congregation is meeting, times of services, pastor and phone contact.
While some congregations hold membership in more than one Lutheran organization, space prevents us from listing more than one. If a congregation prefers a different listing than the one we show, please inform us.

AALC - American Association of Lutheran Churches; AFLC - Association of Free Lutheran Congregations; CLB - Church of the Lutheran Brethren; ELCM - Evangelical Lutheran Conference and Ministerium; ELS – Evangelical Lutheran Synod;
FELC - Fellowship of Evangelical Lutheran Churches; LCMC - Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ; LC-MS - Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod; NALC - North American Lutheran Church.
