Lutheran Free Church - Canada District

Finding its roots in Norway's Revival Movement, the Lutheran Free Church began its work in Canada in 1895.

Spearheaded by Reverend Christian Sangstad and eighty Norwegians from Minnesota, the Augsburg congregation was established in Bella Coola, British Columbia.

From British Columbia, the Lutheran Free Church spread to the prairie provinces at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Lutheran Free Church merged with the American Lutheran Church in 1963, which would eventually lead to the formation of the autonomous Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada in 1967.

The series contains source material on the Canada District of the Lutheran Free Church from 1917 to 1962. It consists of correspondence, constitutions and bylaws, minutes, reports, handbooks and presented papers, documenting the activities of the Canada District of the Lutheran Free Church.
