ELCIC

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada was established in 1986 through the merger of the former Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada (ELCC) and Lutheran Church in America - Canada Section (LCA-CS). Since 2001 the Anglican Church of Canada and the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC) have been in full communion. This merger was approved in Waterloo, Ontario by the National Convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada.

The Church functions through three major entities: nationally as the ELCIC; regionally as synods; and locally as congregations. Each entity has unique ministries as well as ministries which are shared with the other entities. The synods are also divided into geographical conferences to assist in their ministry.
