Lutheran Church - Canada

Lutheran Church - Canada was founded in 1988 when the Canadian congregations of St. Louis-based Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod formed an autonomous Canadian church body. The Synodical office is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is a member of the International Lutheran Council together with the LC-MS and several others.

Lutheran Church–Canada was founded with three districts. The Alberta-British Columbia District offices are in Edmonton, Alberta; the Central District in Regina, Saskatchewan; and the East District in Kitchener, Ontario. The denomination retains close ties with the LC-MS and other Lutheran church bodies around the world which follow the Biblically-based Lutheran Confessions.

The Lutheran church is a direct result of the Protestant Reformation begun in 1517 by Martin Luther in Wittenberg, Germany.
