The
American Association of Lutheran Churches (AALC)
The AALC (or TAALC) was born at its constituting convention in November of 1987.
Comprised of pastors and congregations in most part from the former American
Lutheran Church (ALC) and the Lutheran Church in America (LCA), its initial
focus would be on the inerrancy an infallibility of the Scriptures, a
personal commitment to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and subscription
to the Lutheran Confessions.
The AALC has grown
from 12 congregations to 78 congregations in 23 states and formed its own seminary, American
Lutheran Theological Seminary (ALTS). It is located on the campus of
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Rev. Franklin E. Hays
heads the AALC; he holds the position of presiding pastor.
