Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Grand Rapids, MI

Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Grand Rapids, MI Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Grand Rapids We are Latvian diaspora congregation in Grand Rapids, MI. We are global Latvian Lutheran Church.

Our Synod affiliation is the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (LELCA). LELCA is part of the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church in World, with its current Archbishop Lauma Zusevica. We do not have affiliation (even though we have tried on many attempts to create fellowship) with the Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Latvia. Main disagreement is about women's ordination. We at th

e Latvian Lutheran Church in the World recognize women's ordination. That is not the only issue, howerever, the main one. Latvian Evangelical Lutheran Church of Grand Rapids was founded in 1980 as two Latvian Lutheran congregations of Grand Rapids merged. New church building was dedicated in 1986. Pastors serving Latvian Lutheran refugee/ diaspora community since late 1940s have been: pastor Alberts Ozols, pastor Kristaps Hermanis, pastor Janis Lazda, pastor Janis Mednis, pastor Ilze Larsen. Our worship is in Latvian with some English addition. All Church festival worships are in both languages.
