The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi (ELCM) is one of the fastest growing Churches in the Sub-Saharan Africa region. The ELCM was established on the 21st of November 1982. The establishment was done by indigenous lay people who became Lutherans as they worked in the neighboring countries of Zimbabwe, South Africa and Tanzania where Lutheranism had already existed and rooted. In 1999, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Malawi and the NW Synod of Wisconsin - ELCA covenanted together in a companion synod relationship. These pages highlight our walking together.
