Association of Free Lutheran Congregations

Association of Free Lutheran Congregations is the sixth largest Lutheran church body in the United States. The AFLC includes congregations in 27 different states, as well as four Canadian provinces. The AFLC is not an incorporated synod, but a free association. Each local congregation is a separate corporation. Minnesota is the geographic center of the organization, with over 80 congregations and over 12,000 members.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2000 Religious Congregations and Membership Study )〕 There are also numerous congregations in the neighboring states of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.〔 The AFLC headquarters are at 3110 East Medicine Lake Blvd., Plymouth, Minnesota 55441 along with the Association Free Lutheran Bible School and Seminary.
==History==
The AFLC was formed by 40 churches in 1962. The churches that formed the AFLC were members of the Lutheran Free Church who did not wish to join The American Lutheran Church. The body was originally called the Lutheran Free Church-not merged. The ALC filed suit against the group for using the name Lutheran Free Church. By 1964 the name Association of Free Lutheran Congregations was established. In 2006 the AFLC had 43,360 baptized members in 267 churches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 2008 ''Yearbook of American & Canadian Churches'' )〕 The estimate for 2009 saw the AFLC growing to 44,000 members.〔(LWF Statistics 2009 )〕
