Evangelical Lutheran Church in America
Upstate New York Synod Every day, in a million ways, members of the ELCA are making the world a better place. In far reaches of the globe, and right here in our neighborhood, you’ll see that Lutherans aren’t folks who simply talk about their beliefs. We put them into action. We can be found addressing AIDS in Uganda, rebuilding homes destroyed by hurricanes on the Gulf Coast or a tsunami in Indonesia. We can be found supporting schools in the Holy Land and supporting new congregations in Malawi. In today’s world, there are countless important ways we as a church work together with our neighbors at home and around the world. The ELCA, through its missionaries, companion churches, and partner agencies, works every day to proclaim the love of God and make the world a better place to live. While we are the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, our hands reach out in partnerships across the globe. Our faith tradition is based on a life-transforming story. The ELCA’s story is both ancient and timely. It’s a story of a powerful and patient God who has boundless love for all people of the world, who brings justice for the oppressed. It’s a story of Jesus Christ, changing lives. It’s a story that brings comfort and strength to people who today live in modern, often unsettling times. Learn more about our beliefs—and become a part of our story.
