For Clergy and Congregations
We in the LC-I know that many
congregations and clergy are concerned
over developments in Lutheranism today,
especially in the USA and Canada. The
LC-I offers a home for those who have
found their current church body to have
drifted away from from them.
To assist you in the discernment
process, please check out our online
guide on join the LC-I
There are currently 84 rostered leaders
(teachers, deaconnesses, deacons, pastors,
bishops) serving in the LC-I.
There are communities of faith in the USA,
Canada, Venezuela, Spain, Ghana, Kenya,
Singapore, and Myanmar. New congregations
are being started or joining the LC-I every
month.
Founded in 1967 from strong Swedish roots as
a fellowship of pastors, the LC-I has grown to
become a full denomination, with services and
support for congregations, foreign and
domestic missionaries, chaplaincies, schools,
and much more.
The headquarters of the LC-I is located in
Springfield, Illinois, and the Office of the
Secretary is in Baltimore, Maryland.
Congregations and communities of faith
maintain title to all property. In the event a
community wishes to depart from the LC-I, the
process is simple and straightforward, and
conducted in a spirit of true Christian
love..Neither the church headquarters nor any
diocese will ever attempt to seize assets of a
member congregation.
Please see our other statements on marriage,
apostolic succession, interpretation of
Scriptures, and the Lutheran Confessions.
