ELCA
We are part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA), the largest Lutheran body in North America.
The history of Lutherans in America has seen many diverse Lutheran bodies merge. The ELCA is the most recent merger that occurred in 1988 between the Lutheran Church in America, the American Lutheran Church, and the Association of Evangelical Lutheran Churches.
The ELCA is divided into regional synods. We are part of the Northwest Washington Synod. Our bishop is The Reverend Shelley Bryan Wee. Check out the ELCA at elca.org and the Synod at lutheransnw.org.
