The Association of Confessing Evangelical Lutheran Congregations (ACELC) exists to give a united voice against errors in doctrine and practice that have been officially adopted, tolerated, or promoted within the Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, and to encourage faithful, thoughtful engagement among congregations and individuals concerned about these issues.

For a brief overview of who we are, how we operate, and what we seek to accomplish, we invite you to review our FAQs. Those wishing to explore the origins and theological foundations of the ACELC in greater depth may consult our Founding Documents. Information about how the association is structured and governed is available in our Governance Guidelines. Finally, we encourage you to meet the pastors and lay leaders who serve the church through this work as our Board Members.
