Who We Are:

Holy Cross Lutheran Church is a member of the Eastern Synod of the Evengelical Lutheran Church in Canada (ELCIC). For more information than is included in this page, please feel free to visit the ELCIC website, or the Eastern Synod's website. The Lutheran World Federation site can also provide you with more information on the Lutheran church in the world.
The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada is the major Canadian representative of the traditions of the Lutheran reformation of the catholic Christian church. Baptized membership was 193,915 members on December 31, 1998. The Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada came into being in 1986 through the merger of two predecessor bodies. We derive our teachings from the Holy Scriptures and confess the three ecumenical creeds of the Christian church. We hold to orthodox catholic theology as enunciated in the ecumenical councils of the first five centuries of Christianity. We trace our roots as a confessing movement to the reformation of the catholic church initiated by Dr. Martin Luther in Germany in the 1500s. From Germany, Lutheranism spread to Scandinavia and the Baltic states, as well as to other areas in central and eastern Europe.
Today, Lutherans are to be found around the world. Lutherans have been continually present in Canada since the 1750s, when German Lutheran immigrants arrived in Halifax.
