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.
