National Evangelical Lutheran Church
The National Evangelical Lutheran Church (original name was Finnish Evangelical Lutheran National Church of America until 1946) was a Finnish-American Lutheran church that was organized 1898 at Calumet, Michigan. The church was started by people who had left the Finnish Evangelical Lutheran Church of America over concerns of losing congregational freedom and autonomy. The church merged with the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod in 1978. Ever since that date it has been served by Wisconsin Synod pastors.
