The congregations listed below represent a net loss of baptized members for the ELCA of at least 265,582 since August 2009. Add to this number the membership of approximately 20 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 February 15, 2011 shows 403 congregations that successfully have taken the second vote to leave the ELCA, as well as 102 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.
