A Special Note to our visitors:

Some of our AOL Web site is still unedited since our September 7, 1999 formation of ELCM. The basic materials that were adopted in the formation of ELCM are updated but since this is a fairly large site some materials are not yet revised. Eventually as time permits we will get around to completely updating our AOL site pages. Our new Official www.elcm.org site however has all the up to date and revised materials relating to our Evangelical Lutheran Conference and Ministerium. We invite you to check out this location at:

An Introduction to ELCM

Web Site Navigation Menu Guide & Index

The Rev. Henry Melchior Muhlenberg, is often known as the Patriarch of Amercan Lutheranism. Pastor Muhlenberg was a mild Pietist and moved in a more Confessional direction due to encounters with the Pietists of the Moravian disposition. Some of his solutions to congregational organization are very timely for this day and age. We have incorporated several and have found them to be most helpful.
