About the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Welcome to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), where we embrace God's work with our hands and spread the saving grace of Jesus Christ through unity and service. With a history rooted in the writings of Martin Luther, our church of 3 million members thrives in over 8,600 worshiping communities across the US and Caribbean.
Located in Chicago, Illinois, the Lutheran Center serves as the hub for our staff of about 400. We lead national, domestic, and global ministries, including Lutheran Disaster Response and ELCA World Hunger.
