Church of the Lutheran Confession
For a detailed explanation of how the CLC views itself as differing from the other Lutheran denominations see https://clclutheran.org/ourhistory/.
Short History: "The Church of the Lutheran Confession (CLC) considers itself to be the true spiritual descendant of the Evangelical Lutheran Synodical Conference, which was formed in 1872 and lasted until the early 1960s. As that association of formerly conservative Lutheran church bodies in North America was drawing its last breath, the CLC was just becoming a church body."
"The CLC emerged from three of the former member churches of the Synodical Conference: primarily from the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS), but also from the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod (LCMS), and the Evangelical Lutheran Synod (ELS). The Synodical Conference had originally been formed on the basis of full agreement in doctrine and practice on the part of the member churches; it broke apart when that basis and the biblical doctrine of church fellowship on which it rested was no longer fully practiced by the member churches."
Local Churches: There are no CLC churches within easy driving distance to Louisville. Most are in MI, WI, MN, the Plains States, and CA. You can find a list of churches at https://clclutheran.org/directory/. Click on the + sign next to Churches and the - sign next to Schools and People.
