WelcomeWelcome to our web site. We are the Metro St. Louis Coalition of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). The ELCA consists of approximately five million people in over 10,000 congregations. In Metro St. Louis, Missouri ELCA congregations are in urban areas, inner-ring suburbs and outlying suburban areas. Founded in 1991, it is one of few such coalitions in the United States. It has proved to be an effective way of combining our efforts in working together as one to proclaim and share God's love for all. In Word and Service, |

Our Mission
The Metro St. Louis Coalition
consists of 36 congregations and two worshipping communities of the
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America in the Metropolitan St. Louis Area
who reach out in mission to the people in this area. This Coalition
confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the Gospel as the power of
God for the salvation of all who believe.
Twenty-seven congregations and two missions are in Missouri in the Central States Synod. Nine congregations and one mission are in Illinois in the Central/Southern Illinois Synod Synod. The Coalition exists within the largest urban-suburban area in both synods.
The Coalition embodies the commitment of congregations to serve one another as the Body of Christ and to be an essential partner with both synods.
