About Us ...

The Texas-Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod is a diverse collection of congregations affiliated with the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America on a mission to TELL the Good News of Jesus Christ to the residents of the world.

Averaging 130 congregations, we understand that each congregation is a mission outpost called to a unique setting and gifted in particular ways to carry out their mission.  We represent many predecessor expressions of Lutheran tradition and weave together our various pasts for the hope of a stronger mission in partnership with one another.

The Lutheran witness is undergoing transformation as we enter into a new time in the history of the Christian movement.  The post-post modern world where we are called to bear witness is calling us to clarify our vision, mission, values, and strategies in new ways to reach a pluralistic world.  The opportunity for us collectively and for congregations individually to examine why they exist and to claim their mission for the future is exciting and urgent.

We encourage you to join us as we wonder and explore and discover the exciting, mission-centered ministry God is calling us to do in The Texas Louisiana Gulf Coast Synod.
