Lutheran Church – Canada

Lutheran Church – Canada (LCC) is a confessional Lutheran denomination in Canada. It is the largest Lutheran body in Canada as of 2023, with a baptized membership of 44,790. Together with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada and the Canadian Association of Lutheran Congregations, it is one of only three all-Canadian Lutheran denominations. LCC was founded in 1988 when Canadian congregations of the St. Louis–based Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod (LCMS) formed an autonomous church body with a synodical office in Winnipeg, Manitoba. LCC has no substantial theological divisions from LCMS and the two church bodies are in full altar and pulpit fellowship with each other.
