About the SELC-LWML:
The
Slovak
Evangelical
Lutheran
Church was organized in 1902 in Connellsville,
Pennsylvania, with ten pastors and fifteen
congregations. The Slovak Synod was accepted into the Synodical
Conference in 1908. In 1959, due to the diminishing use of the Slovak
language and identity, the Synod changed its name to the Synod of
Evangelical Lutheran Churches. The Synod merged with the Lutheran
Church-Missouri Synod in 1971, becoming a non-geographical district, now
known as the SELC District.
The SELC District is
divided into three zones each meeting once or twice annually along with
a biannual convention. Currently there are over 50 SELC District
congregations located in the United States
and Canada.
Early on our women were
active in the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League working hard to assist
mission congregations as well as their pastors.
In 1987 the LWML-SELC became an official non-geographical district of
the Lutheran Women’s Missionary League with 2007 marking our 20th
anniversary!
The SELC LWML has provided funding for mission congregations in a
variety of ways including: signs, altar items, paraments and various
mission endeavors.
Each zone and local group provides support for our mission congregations
with 25% of our mites going back to the zones for other grants.
The women of the SELC LWML not only endeavor to show everyone the love
of Christ but also to “serve the
Lord with gladness.”
