The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
is the largest Lutheran body in North America. Lutherans are a
Christian denomination and have strong connections in faith and
heritage to Catholic and Protestant churches of many kinds. Here's a
description of who we
are and what we
believe. For a more formal description of our theology, see this
statement
of faith from the ELCA world headquarters.
United In Faith is one of over 200 congregations in the Metropolitan Chicago Synod. The ELCA offers more detailed information on our congregation as well as others in your area.
